Yes. I took phenelzine + d-amphetamine for about two and a half years. It took forever to raise the dose of d-amphetamine because I was on an MAOI, but I ended up at 20mg t.i.d. Right now I'm only taking the dexedrine + clonazepam (went off Nardil for weight gain). Doctor is hesitant to put me back on MAOI now but I want to go on Marplan. Dexedrine worked better on MAOI and seemed to last a little longer. Phenelzine was more effective than clonazepam long-term for social anxiety/phobia for me. Wish I never got on the benzo, but I made a bad choice during a tough time. Now I'm going to have to taper off of it--what fun. Oh well, I just hope my doctor is amenable to putting me back on the MAOI + d-amphetamine combination because nothing else works.

Best of luck.

Effective dose of phenelzine for most people seems to be about 1mg/kg/day in divided doses.

Honestly, the danger of d-amphetamine + phenelzine is exaggerated. It is something to be treated with respect, but the hysteria over it is IMHO unwarranted.

Now ephedrine--there's a stimulant I wouldn't dare touch on an MAOI.
