Hi Scott, sorry, this might be difficult to follow because I've been writing about my experiences over several days. If you like, you can re-read all my posts in this thread to get a better understanding of what's been happening.
Actually, I wrote that I was not working or in school right now, so I can afford to go through bad side effects, like rose45 did in the hospital.
I was not purposely starting Nardil on and off. On Monday, I had the extreme side effects that I wrote about in the first post. That's why I stopped it for 3 days. I was actually going to stop Nardil until my next dr's visit next week, but I decided to start it up again today.
Yes, I had side effects at 30mg, but they were much milder than the extreme effects I got on Monday when I was on 45mg.
---------------------
I actually got an EXTREME, TERRIFYING experience this afternoon. All of a sudden, I could barely breathe, I was going to faint, my heart was beating super fast, my face was sickly, and my hands were cold and clammy. I thought I needed to be rushed to the ER asap. But I sat down and got better. It was over in less than 10 minutes. But it was horrific, and I really thought I was dying. I had a similar experience when I was on clomipramine a few months ago.Was that a hypertensive crisis? Didn't sound like it. It does fit into the description of panic attack. Nothing seemed to lead it on; I was just calmly reading when it suddenly happened. I had taken the 30mg Nardil in the morning. For lunch, I had a pizza slice and a Drumstick ice cream cone. (I had pizza quite a few times on Nardil with no effects.) Then I got a headache right afterwards. Then a couple of hours later, the "attack" came on.
Did it have anything to do with Nardil? It was absolutely terrifying, and I wouldn't want it to happen again. Anyway, I'm stopping Nardil until my dr's appt next week.
