240 mg is a high dose, however, going over 60 is a very common practice. The statement that taking over 30mg/day will "unlikely be beneficial", I feel is nonsense. I take between 50 and 60 a day and feel much better than I did on 30. It sounds like you got your info off the Internet Mental Health website (excellent one by the way). The combo with Seroquel I will confess my ignorance on. I do not know if it would be such a wise thing to do with a parnate dose already at 240. If you go back and search, there is a string about a month ago that deals with parnate dosing.
You said your friend was admitted to the hospital. What were some of the symptoms? The only reason I ask is that from what I have learned from this site is that the chance of MAOI hypertensive episodes increase with dose. Just a thought. I hope all works out, many holiday blessings,
