Most Common Types of MAO Inhibitors and Their Dosages:
isocarboxazid (Marplan)
* Usual Starting Dose: 30 mg/day
* Maximum Dose: 30 mg/day
phenelzine (Nardil)
* Usual Starting Dose: 15 mg/day
* Maximum Dose: 60 mg/day
tranylcypromine (Parnate)
* Usual Starting Dose: 30 mg/day
* Maximum Dose: 60 mg/day
The MAOI phenelzine (Nardil) has been found specifically to help patients characterized as atypical. These patients often have mixed anxiety and depression, or depression with phobia or hypochondriacal features. There is less evidence that Nardil may be effective in severely depressed patients. Tranylcypromine (Parnate) is a good choice if you have major depression without melancholia.
