To make a long story short, I was taking 45mg of Nardil this summer, dropped down to 15 in June, and then crashed in August after some life stressors.
I went back from 15 to 45 for five weeks, and then have been at 60 for 8 days. Today I had some postural hypotension, like I did the first time Nardil kicked in.
Does the return of side effects like that mean it is going to work? Thanks, Michael

But the fact you're having side effects indicates the drug is doing the same 'things' it did before. Hopefully your brain will react positively to these 'things' Nardil is doing.
Its not the drugs that make you feel better but rather your brains reaction to the drugs.
But dont forget, you never actually stopped Nardil, you only reduced your dose so you've always been ON Nardil. You may well need a higher dose. But give it a couple more weeks on 60mg.
Just my opinion.

I just read your email.
The fact that you had 2 good days followed by a bad day may indeed mean its starting to work again. Nardil is like this in the beginning. I remember I'd feel 'over the moon' one day, then the next I didn't want to get out of bed. But the good/bad day ratio got better & better is time went on.Hold on in there!
Kev.

Michael hope that's great news for you and that is a question I've pondered do side effects mean a med is going to work. Hoping the very best for you Phillipa
