I'm curious to find out about people who have found long-term success on Nardil. Please say how long you have been on it and what you are taking it for (i.e. diagnosis). And how did the change in 2003 affect you? How difficult were the diet restrictions? Thanks, Michael

I'm curious. Is anyone diagnosed with a combination of these? If so, what has been your cocktail of meds that have worked for you?

I know ACE aka "Nardil King" has been on it for a long time. He pops in every now and then. You can do a search in the archives about his success, or start a new post, "Calling Nardil King" ACE.Polarbear

I have been on Nardil since April of 2005, and it is nearly as effective now as it was when I first started it, of course discounting that first week of glorious "hypomania". A few months ago, I had to raise the dose to 120mg/day from 90mg/day. I am happy to say that since dropping buprenorphine, I have negligable sexual side effects from the drug.
It can often take eight months or more for this to remit, though.Currently, I take 60mg at bedtime and 30mg at noon and 6PM along with 15mg dextroamphetamine tid. With addition of the d-amphetamine, my libido is far better than it is drug-free. This is a woefully underused combination that I have yet to see produce even the mildest untoward effect in me, let alone a hypertensive crisis.
Sleep is the big problem now; it takes over 20mg ambien to put me out, and then I can't wake up. 30mg+ of temazepam does nothing. I think it's time for chloral hydrate or barbiturates, but as liberal as my doctor is, i.e. extremely, I don't know if secobarbital is on the list of things he's willing to try ...

Hi I've been on Nardil for most of the past 10 years. I have stopped a few times for other medication trials that were fruitless. I have seen others post that they have been on Nardil for twenty or twenty-five years. The medication was,I believe, first synthesized in the late fifties and is still one of the best meds for treatment resistant depression, atypical depression, general and social anxiety. Makes me wonder what science has been doing the past fifty years!

PS I was off Nardil for another trial in 2003, so I did not feel a direct effect. The diet restrictions are pretty easy for me. Over the years I have found what affects me and what doesen't. Aged cheeses are the worse, and over the counter cold remedies are almost all contraindicated(Do a lot of research).> I'm curious to find out about people who have found long-term success on Nardil.

has anyone been successful treated for these together? I'm really at a loss. I'm almost ready to become a pharmacologist.
