> Interaction or not, it seems like you'll need a higher dose of Marplan. I think you said you were on 40mg. Will you increase to 50mg next then 60mg if necessary?
Hey Ed
Thanks for your advice
Unfortunatly the doctor who prescribed me the Marplan wasn't terribly helpful or sympathetic, I don't think I'm going to see him again
He didn't seem to understand the importance of pushing an MAOI dose till you get a response.
I don't want to spend money seeing him again and asking for a dose increase when he'll probably say no.
He also wanted me to see an expensive CBT therapist in London, which I can't really do, as I'm working full time.
I think I'll be able to increase the dose to 50mgs on my own intiative

My main symptom is a very blocked nose, all the time, its very annoying when I'm trying to sleep.
I imagine an anti-hystamine would work for my symptoms
