> In the post above mine a few there is talk of going as high as 200mg with parnate. I have researched the net and there does seem to be some general consensus that if this is done carefully theres no reason it cant be done for people with treatment resistant mood disorders. Whats your view?Have you been as high as 80 mg/day yet? If not, I would recommend you try that first before trying a high-dosage strategy.

I would not take 200 mg/day or greater. I don't think you should target a dosage any higher than 120 mg/day to start with.
You need to be careful with Parnate. There is a tendency towards dosage escalation. With each dosage increase, you might feel a brief burst of energy. This is not a true antidepressant effect. This is most likely due to the amphetamine-like effects Parnate has. You will need to be patient and give each dosage a few weeks to work before increasing. If you find yourself sleeping all day, have confusion, muscle jerks, or speech difficulties, the dosage might be too high.
