Default steve...
...you still doing well? It has been two weeks since my last MAOI so I am going to edge into the deeper water a bit. I am going to work my way up to a single 15 mg gel cap. I know that is higher than the doses we've been talking about but the advantages of having the option of the handy capsule are considerable and the dose is still very reasonable if one is a non-Parkie.

It is important to note that I am looking for short term relief of symptoms whereas Robert's approach is directed at long term protection. The two may or may not be compatible.

I guess it would be a bit melodramatic to don a WW1 flight cap and goggles at this point...
