Maybe so, still I think there is a point to make for introducing a drug gradually, even if only to see whether one shows an allergic reaction to it. (True, it's very unlikely that that happens, but then so is having early-onset depression that doesn't respond to anything from exercise to psychotherapy to more than a dozen different drugs - and I managed to pull that one off, so...)
In any case, I decided to do three days on 30mg, then a week on 45mg, and then move upward. Maybe it's slower than I could do it, but I feel more comfortable doing it that way.
Thanks for the answers.
(And emanuel, I guess you're right, but then why don't they make extended-release MAOI formulations? Probably they don't want to put any more money in developing drugs that sell poorly, but still... anyhow, thanks!)
