Mike,
You have no choice; you have to follow your p-doc's instructions because he is writing the scripts. And, you definitely do not want to run out of your Nardil supply.
If I were you, I'd take the Pfizer Prescribing Information document to your p-doc. If he will not listen, I'd find a different p-doc.
As I said before, your effective dosage will likely be 1 mg of Nardil for every kg of your body weight. Or, since 1 kg = 2.2 lb (U.S.), your effective dosage will likely be about 1 mg of Nardil per 2.2 lb of your body weight. So, weigh yourself in lbs and divide your weight by 2.2; the result is the mgs of Nardil you will likely need to take to resolve your social phobia. However, this is only a general rule, and everyone is different. The reason to ramp up slowly to your effective dosage level is to avoid start-up side effects.
Nardil will cause your body weight to increase. So, watch what you eat and exercise a lot right from the beginning. Also, erectile dysfunction is common with Nardil.
