Your doc may be a very cautious person. starting at 15 would be a better option so if you can tolerate 7.5mgs for a short while, go for the 15, and if that works I hope you can move up quickly with tolerable SE's. Its not till you hit 80%is maoi inhibition until the clock starts ticking for it to work. But I believe the titration time it takes you to get to your optimal dosage will get some nardil working in your system so this should cut off a bit of the waiting time for the med to work once you hit your optimal dose (usually 1mg/kg of body weight per day) if you can handel it but some people get benefits fom 30 - 60mgs/day if their lucky. I do 1mg/kg of wieght so im 170 lbs devided by 2.2 = 77mg/day of nardil for me.
Keep me updated on your SE's as you go along and progress, I hope you have the courage to wait until your dose gets theraputic, RegardsNardilStarter2007
