In reply to Med's that can be combined with MAOI's, posted by medtrier on December 10, 2010, at 19:58:03
I've been on Nardil and amitryptaline before, which proved mildly effective. However, the combination was not a long-term solution because of the sleep disturbance induced by the nardil. It completely eliminated my slow wave sleep (stage 3 and 4), something no other drug, aside from xyrem (which very few doctors will prescribe), can compensate for. Getting off Nardil nearly was the end of me, mind you I was on a high dose - 120mg. Nardil is no panacea.It's effectiveness will only last as long as you can live without recuperative sleep and it comes at a cost. Getting off it is very, very difficult. Ultimately, a combination of clomipramine, remeron and ldn proved very effective and the sleep is prestine - I feel rested and near 100 per cent better. Good luck.
