Hopefully, I can appeal to the "explorer" in him. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything written that would suggest that dosages above 60mg are safe. Originally, the maximum dosage described for Marplan was 30mg.

I'm not getting many responses to my questions regarding Marplan. I guess the use of Marplan to treat depression is uncommon. I hope it is being prescribed often enough such that the drug company can justify its continued manufacture.
