> After trying nurmerous drugs, a few emotional breakdowns, and abusing recreational drugs to escape my pain I have been given clonazepam and nardil. My only query is my doc is titrating me up very slowly on the nardil, i'm currently on 30 and don't feel anything much from it or much in the way of side effects and he says "2 months and u will get full effect at that dose and then we can think about adding another 15mg"... so it's gonna be a long time to get to 60... and god forbid i don't know what i would do if this drug doesn't work for me :(.. anyways.. do u think this is titrating up a bit too slowly? i'm not sure whether to trust him or put my foot down and say i'm only waiting a month for each 15mg until i get to 60 if i'm not hving any problems with side effects.

>My doc started me the same way.. but i figured stuff it the info that came with nardil said increase to 60 as fast as you could so thats what i did. All was good for 4 weeks and then bang.. the side effects were so bad i ended up in hospital. Had to then start all over again so that was about 6 weeks down the drain. This time i stuck to the 30 mg for two months then went to 45 and it kicked in in 2 days and i was actually able to remain conceous for more than 5 seconds this time to enjoy it!
