Btw, I agree with Scott about this.
Even where there are established doses, a pdoc could decide to try a little more.
eg, the established dose (not with a blood level, but pretty common) for Parnate is 30-60 mg. I went up to 100 mg and never had any type of hypertensive crisis, or even hypertensive reaction. I've heard of people who used as much as 120 mg.
So individual reactions--and side effect profiles-- can vary considerably. The discussions of dose and blood testing all make that point-- at least, the perhaps somewhat different, but related point, that the ranges don't predict individual reactions.
