If I weren't so burned out from trying countless medications and incurring the wrath of their side effects, I would be giving Nardil a greater chance than I'm going to. Yes you've done quite a few meds (I've lost track of how many I've tried), but maybe you still have a good fight left in you (if you end up needing it--you may not) for something that seems to yield dramatic relief when you make it to the other side. I just get so physically sick; yesterday was my second day trying Nardil and I haven't been right yet-- nausea, headace, yadda yadda. But like I said, if I hadn't spent so much time in the hell of adjusting to meds that barely or never worked, I would give it a better shot. I may try again later. Had I known what I know now, I would have stopped at Paxil (my first try) and gone to Nardil (with honest feedback about what I might expect, a few days off work, a good book and someone to feed me!) I guess I'm encouraging you to go for it--it sounds like you need something more powerful than the ssri's with augmentation. Thankfully there are still many good meds you have left to try, and many good people who care about you.
