Unfortunately that's what mine told me too but that was not the case for me...sigh.
>Can you lower the dose or does that not work?
Actually I'm playing with a little less of the dose right now and I'm feeling a little better...not such bad morning fog.> That must have been so frustrating for the Nardil to stop working after 5 years of success. If you were to go back to it, is a washout necessary because they're different types of antidepressants?
Washout is necessary and that's one of the biggest reasons my pdoc and I go back and forth...remeron did bring me out of that black pit...and know a minimum of a two-week washout is necessary, then the time it will take for the Nardil to kick in, is something I just can't afford to chance right now.
