> After a lot of consideration, research, and discussion with my pdoc I have decided to give Nardil a try. My pdoc actually takes this and has a number of patients on this. He says that he has seen good success for many patients in the 30-60mg range which is a bit less than I have read here from posters and seen elsewhere online.
>I maxed out at 60mg, and I'm over 200 lbs.
> My qustion is this. I tend to be very med sensitive and he has recommended that I start with a low dose of 7.5mg/day (split the 15mg tablet).
I started at 15 and went up by one tablet every 2 weeks. I kept an Excel spreadsheet and figured out I have a 10-day titration period.
I'm not sure that "med sensitive" is a general characteristic (I'm not sure that it's not, either). I'm very sensitive to some meds (such as SSRI's) but have very low sensitivity to others, especially sedating meds like benzo's and sleep aids.
