Hi, Linkadge.
> How much nortriptyline did you take with an MAOI?
I have taken 150 mg/day of nortriptyline in combination with Parnate 120 mg/day and Nardil 90 mg/day. However, I subsequently found that 100 mg/day of nortriptyline is optimal for me. 150 mg/day brought on brain-fog and a less robust antidepressant response. After awhile, no side effects were evident. I would rather be on nortriptyline than a SSRI with respect to side effects.
> Did you notice any differences in combining it with one MAOI vs. another?
That's a really good question. I wish I could give you a definite answer. My first impression is that there really wasn't anything special about one combination over another. As an aside, I find nortriptyline to be more of a mood-brightener than desipramine. Likewise, I find Nardil to be more of a mood-brightener than Parnate.
