In reply to NARDIL: experienced users please share dosing info, posted by also-ran on May 10, 2003, at 20:50:31
> I recently started Nardil + clonazepam after failing a trial Lexapro + clonazepam to treat a fairly avoidant case of social anxiety.

> My doctor, by his own admission, has very limited experience w/ MAOI's and has started me at 45mgs/day in three divided doses. He wants to keep me at this dose for at least a month before going higher. From what I've been able to glean from this board it seems like this is an extremely conservate approach.Too conservative. Within 2 weeks you could get up to 60mg. Stay on that for 4 weeks to determine response. No response, raise to 75mg for 2 weeks, no response, 90mg. 4 weeks at 60mg is the standard time for it to work.
> Please help me by sharing any and all knowledge and experience you have with regard to all aspects of dosing e.g.: your starting dose, titrating dose up(how soon, by what increment, how long before increasing again) and what your most effective dose is.
I started at 30mg - stupid!. At the end of week two I was up to 60mg. After 4 weeks on 60 it kicked in. Then raised it to 90mg - even more brilliance!You've choose a great drug. Give it time but!
