Hi,
I am a first time poster. Ace and Chad both have been very supportive and informative about Nardil. I finally found a psych. dr. to prescribe Nardil to me because of such postive stories such as yours about Nardil's effectiveness in combating SP.My history is that I suffer from extreme SP since I've been 14. Along with SP, I am currently suffering from depression because I am at my wits end of trying medications that I cannot tolerate. I cannot function in the outside world. Thank God, I have Klonipin to get me through the day.
I have tried all the ssri's and they all increased my anxiety and I had to stop. I couldn't even last a few days on some of them. My old psych. dr. would not give me Nardil because he said that if I could not tolerate the ssri's I would not be able to tolerate Nardil. So I swtiched doctors.
Long story short, I just have a few questions:
1) Will Nardil increase my anxiety initially?
2) I am starting at 15 mg. What did you start at and how did you ramp up?
3) I am currently taking Klonipin .5mg 3x a day and lorazepam prn, codeine prn for pain and neurontin 200mgs 3x a day. Can I still stay on these medications?
4) What is the typical onset of Nardil?
5) Can I get a link to the current dietary restrictions?
Sorry for the long post, but my current psych. dr. is completley unfamiliar with Nardil. He hasn't prescribed it in over 10 years. That's why I need you guys for support.
Thank you for being there for me and I look forward to hearing from anyone with info. for me.
Peace,
Shanti
