Hi boys & girls,
Right now I'm a happy man. Just under 5 weeks Nardil is starting to kick in -- the OCD thoughts/processes are hurting less & less, I am feeling very happy & talkative and better yet, I'm sure the best is yet to come!
One question -- I've read that 1mg per 1kg of body weight is dose to go for. I am around 60 kg. I am thinking of upping the dose for optimal effects, to know that I can't get it better at this dose. Is that plausible even though I'm 60kg? I mean 90mg is 30kg above my weight.
Let us know Nardil lovers....

Early phase treatment: Dosage should be increased to at least 60 mg per day at a fairly rapid pace consistent with patient tolerance. It may be necessary to increase dosage up to 90 mg per day to obtain sufficient MAO inhibition. Many patients do not show a clinical response until treatment at 60 mg has been continued for at least 4 weeks.
I haven't taken Nardil...yet. I got this info off of http://www.rxlist.com. I'm sure someone with experience with N will answer. I hear responses like yours aren't uncommon on Nardil. It's a great feeling to find something that works.

> Let us know Nardil lovers....The 1mg per kg per day is just a guideline or rough estimate for initial dosing. I believe most studies have shown you need over 80% MAO inhibition to start seeing a positive effects on mood. This will vary depending upon a whole host of factors such as your age (the number of MAOI enzymes in the body increases with age), how you well you absorb nardil in you gut, etc. So finding the dose that benefits you the most is more trial and error and alot more complicated than "1mg/kg/day". You should try a dose higher than 60mg to see if it helps. Take care.
