I was on Parnate for six months last year and have been on it again for three months now.

I believe it's a 2 week washout for Serzone.

I was started on 30 mg (1 tab TID). A couple of weeks later, I was increased to 40. A couple of weeks after that, 60, then 80, then 100, then 120, then 130.

This time I have managed to stay around 60 mg to minimize side effects.

For me, within a few days. It is a very stimulating medication; however, the activating effects occur before the antidepressant effect does, so once you become used to the dose, you have to evaluate your depression.

Not nearly as bad as SSRIs. I do have delayed orgasm but at least I can have them! Plus, NOT that I recommend this, but if I go one day without taking it and I become hypersexual.
