Nardil is a strange beast.
I did two weeks at 45mg with no side effects or benefit. Which was fine. Almost a week ago I went up to 60mg and that's when things got strange.
Day one on 60mg I felt drugged.
Day two I woke up to extreme anxiety. I almost ditched the trial. Instead I took .5mg Klonopin twice along with 2.5 mg Zyprexa. The anxiety disappeared and I felt okay. No anxiety.
Day three non-eventful.
Day four woke up to two hours of feeling noticeably better (blip?). Then two episodes of pretty severe hypotension. Stayed seated and drank lots of water. Hypotension abated. Couple hours later hypertension episode 156/96. Might have been tyrosine induced. I accidentally ate yogurt.
Day five (today) back to baseline no s/e's.
Crossing my fingers. Trying to be a patient patient :)

Ps- Pdoc has said no to the following: Lamictal, Nifedipine, Metformin. He said no to switching Klonopin to Xanax, and Zyprexa to another AP. He and my therapist have said "stay the course". I guess at this point I agree.
