> Hi. I've been on Nardil for four weeks and three days (4 weeks on 45 mg and 1 week and three days on 60 mg) and I am so depressed and anxious. I'm afraid to go out of the house, I'm worse than I was before I was on SSRIs. Does anyone have any advice for me on what I should do?
Some people don't respond to Nardil until they reach a dose of 90mg. You may yet respond at 60mg, which I consider the beginning of the effective dose range. Unfortunately, it might not be for another few weeks until you respond to it. You might want to give each dosage a trial of three weeks before increasing. This will give the drug a chance to work and your body a chance to accommodate to the higher dosage.
It is very likely that I will restart Nardil in the summer. I have been trialing a new drug, milnacipran. The two drugs should not be mixed because of a serious serotonergic reaction. If I do take Nardil again, it will be in combination with other drugs:
Nardil
nortriptyline
Lamictal
Abilify
lithium
