In reply to NARDIL Dosage Increase?, posted by angels78 on May 9, 2010, at 0:23:33

> I've been on Nardil for a month and a half and 3 weeks on 60 MG. I have noticed when I still have social anxiety in public enviornments and still very hesitant, my question is, should I ask to increase my dose to 75 mg/day do you think this can have a positive effect or wait out another month at 60mg?
> Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

From my own experience, I would say that going from 60mg to 75mg can make a big difference. With Nardil, a little can be a lot. It interferes with its own metabolism, so a small increase in dosage can lead to a larger increase in levels of drug in the body.

How well are you tolerating Nardil? Do you experience dizziness due to low blood pressure? If not, then you might be able to handle 75mg. I would not wait more than another two weeks to raise the dosage if there is no improvement and you can tolerate the higher dosage. You can always try reducing the dosage of Nardil later. In the meantime, you are optimizing your chances of responding. That's my perspective. Others may feel differently based upon their experiences with the drug.

Good luck.
