Hi.
I believe that there is still a good chance that your body will accommodate to the hypotensive effects of Parnate. It may take several weeks once you reach 60mg for it to mitigate. As you point out, you and I have different biologies, so there are no guarantees that you will respond the same way I have.
It is too bad that the GSK and PDR literature recommend 60mg as the maximum dosage of Parnate. I have found that many of the doctors who have the most experience with Parnate suggest that the true dosage range for efficacy is 40-80mg.
There is clinical and pharmacological evidence that Parnate at dosages above 100mg exerts effects not seen at the lower dosages. I found 150mg very tolerable. It was more helpful to me at that time than were the lower dosages.
