Hey.
My pdoc will let me trying anything as long as it is not a narcotic. I was on Nardil and it made me lactate, so I don't want to try it again (happened a couple of times).
Do you know what the average dosage of Nortriplyline should be?
Thank you.
Maxime

There is even some evidence that it can make the MAOI safer than taking the MAOI alone. Adding Nardil, a little at a time, to an established dose of nortriptyline is the preferred way to augment the nortriptyline. If your doctor is apprehensive there are lots of PubMed abstracts which show that these two medications can be taken together.
