Any input would be greatly appreciated.
About two years ago, I was doing OK but not great on Emsam and I decided since I was in the MAOI family that I would go ahead and try Nardil (45mg, then 30, blood tests showed that it was circulating through my body well). It took nearly 12 full weeks to kick in, after a lot of nasty side effects that went away (light-headed, constipation, etc.) but I got a euphoric high for a few months. In other words, I finally felt like I had met the medicine of my dreams for a few months. After 10 long years, I thought had finally found the road to recovery from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Atypical Depression. I started getting back confidence and everything.
Then slowly over time, I guess the same effect left. Since then, I have remained on Nardil but never been able to get back to that initial Nardil "high."
1) Has anyone else experience that?
Right now I take 45mg Nardil, 50-75 Seroquel, and 2-3mg Klonopin. I actually bumped up to 60mg Nardil since I weigh 250 pounds within the LAST WEEK, and it is destroying my sleep, which surprises me since I am taking Seroquel. I'm guessing the only way to solve this would be to go down in Nardil ... any input here, too?
THANKS
