For the first week of taking Nardil I felt really awful on it, totally spaced out and zombie like, I found it hard to register anything on it.
I took a zyprexa after 7 days of hell and felt better, then I dropped the Nardil to 60mg and felt ok, then somewhere along the line I upped it to 105 and felt really motivated on it but sort of cold to people, like I didn't really want to go out and talk much on it just wanted to keep really busy.
Then I dropped the dose back down to 60mg and felt awful again. I know your not supposed to mess around with doses but I only intended staying on NArdil anyway for 3 weeks to 4 weeks.
I know I could probably stayed on 105mg but it was a bit scarey how just lowering the dose to 90mg could make me feel so bad and out of it. I also remember feeling really really tired on 105mg which I quite liked.
Anyway, I'm finished with Nardil now just wanted to write down my experiences.
Why do people always seem to worry and complain about physical side affects, like diarreah, putting weight etc, I'd happily put up with all of that if I felt better mentally. Infact for some reason diarreah is always a good sign with me, I find if I get that then I feel better mentally which is strange.
There was a time when I could take anything and feel better really quickly, oh how I yearn for those days.
