I should mention that Serzone probably should not be combined with Nardil. The risk can technically include serotonin syndrome and hypertenise crisis. Still, I took Serzone 100-200/day with Nardil 60mg for 5 months. For me 60mg is low dose of Nardil, and 90mg was high dose.
Ritalin also is controversial to combine with Nardil, and many Dr's will not combine them, while some will. The required dose goes down since Nardil potentiates the effect. Tiny doses can work well. But again there is technically risk of hypertensive crisis - also hypotension which is probably just as likely. In my case I had no adverse effects except beviorally (aggression).
The best thing in my opinion is to be safe about things at first. Once you adjust to Nardil things will be different.
BTW, serzone probably works by reducing serotonin, ritalin by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine, and cholinergics by reducing anticholinergic effects. The anticholinergic effects probably are worst in the first few months and the safest to treat thus I would suggest if treating any side effect early on to try an anticholinergic first.
