Hi,
Sorry to hear you'r not feeling better.
I think dosage is an individual thing. The PI states the normal dose of Parnate is from 20mg-80mg, but I know it can be dosed higher. Dr. Ivan Goldberg, a psychiatrist in the New York City area says that's just an average range and one could go higher. He see severe TRD and has good luck giving an; MAOI+TCA(orpsychostimulant)+Lithium.
If you current psychiatrist isn't willing to work with you (show him some evidence that other psychiatrists use the above combination), fire him and find someone new. If all else fails, order via a mail order pharmacy not requiring a doctor's RX.
A night of sleep deprivation can boost me out of the fatigue and excessive sleepiness I experiencemuch of the time.
