Q: Do you know of any literature or study info on patients taking more that 60MG (Max Dosage) Parnate or any other MAOI? Been at 60MG over a year and am soon to start 70MG/Day.
Hi -
I'm not a researcher or mental health professional, but I've found a few articles that discuss your question. One psychiatrist who sponsors discussion boards believes that 30mg is too low and that the effective range is 40-80mg. The studies looked at higher doses up to 150mg per day and found little in the way of side effects. You can download the abstracts of three studies in this doc.
As I say, I'm only passing this along and have no credentials other than those of a patient/client who takes as MAOI.
If you're not confident in the prescription of your doctor or psychiatrist, I would urge you to a second opinion.
