Sorry, my post was actually directed at jono_in_adelaide .. but yeah, you're lucky to even have 60mg prescribed; it took weeks of pushing before my psychiatrist would even consider finally raising the dose to 40mg. I too discontinued Parnate due to an inadequate therapeutic response, but wonder if I'd respond to higher doses.
> No, good old U.S. The reason I can't go above 60 is that I get Parnate for free through GSK's Patient Assistance Program. I called to ask if they would fill it if I sent in a prescription for higher than 60, suspecting that they wouldn't. At first I was told the limit was 30, and I thought, oh great, I just alerted them to the fact that I'm already on 60, watch them drop me down (it did take 4 prescriptions and months to get 60 mg filled), then a supervisor said that the strict limit was 60. So, there I go. Beggars can't be choosers.
