I've read that you may get more efficient MAO inhibition by spreading the dose out somewhat. I take 6 x 15 mg/day Nardil and actually do take it six times a day, about overy two or three hours. This may seem strange, but my doctor and I are of pretty much the same mind about this, and I am perhaps a relatively enthusiastic MAOI patient.I certainly wouldn't expect the majority of people to be as gung-ho as I am, but I think there's no harm and certainly some potential benefit in at least splitting the dose in two, perhaps morning and afternoon (You could try it at night also--I just don't know what effect this might have on your sleep).
