I take 90mg (sometimes 100mg) so it's a pretty high dose. I once tried to push my dose up higher to see if I would get better symptom relief but I didn't. It's relatively effective at treating my symptoms. Before Parnate I literally sat around and cried all day and just called people and cried and had lots of akathisia. Now I'm on the low end of functional. I can't work but I can take care of myself, live alone, etc. and not spend all day crying or in a hospital. It's really night and day difference with Parnate and without. I've only been taking it since December, so I'm still trying augments. I'm on a million drugs, but the only ones I'm using right now for mood augmentation are Geodon, Mirapex, and just now starting nortriptyline. The rest are for weight control, sleep, etc. I would definitely say Parnate is effective. I wish it were more effective but it definitely makes a difference. I hope that answers your questions.
