Nardil 90 mg/day is the maximum according to the prescribing information. However, there are reports of some patients who respond well to 120 mg/day. You mentioned irritability and anxiety as side effects. Are you experiencing any other side effects? How is your sleep? Do you feel dizzy or light-headed when you go from sitting to standing?

I seem to be having enough trouble with these side effects alone, without adding something else. I am taking Ativan as needed, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for the irritation.
