Hi Scott The guide for MAOI dosage seems to be that which causes orthostatic hypotension which gets more pronounced 2 minutes later. I don't know why this should be so. Also some people have said of Nardil that the dosage should be approximately 1mg per Kg body weight per day. I'm 90Kg so I'm lucky. It's tough on people who weigh 120Kg as doctors willing to prescribe 120mg per day are as rare as rocking horse sh*t
