Ross -

I just want to say congratulations Ross for what you accomplished for yourself. I remember a couple of your posts a while back - and wow you sound so much more upbeat I'm really glad for you!

i would say Nardil is very smooth. i see my pdoc soon and am currently thinking about 90mgs. but if im doing well on 75mg why bother?

I took Nardil at 90 for 2.5 years. I can recall ramping up - being at 75 and hearing my Dr. suggest trying 90. And I remember thinking "oh my god - what about the sexual side effects". Well my case is not your case - and I'm glad you are feeling good - that is key. In my case I did go up - and ended up with continual good SP treatment the entire 2.5 years - it took a good 3 or 4 months for the sexual side effects to improve - about 80% I would say as I posted earlier. I was worried - he reassured me - and he was about right.

The most important thing is that you are feeling better, happier, and more productive.

In my case - after 2.5 years at 90 Nardil - I had a girlfriend for 1 year, and at that point - there was an adjustment to my regimen. But honestly I would not have changed anythiing sooner - because I felt so great and was so productive with Nardil 90, and it was perfect for me at the time. The point is - there are other things you can do - but nothing you will find will be perfect - there is going to be trade offs and to try accept the imperfect benefits - and to remember where you were and where you are now. Anyway that is what I try to do.

To answer your question though - I went off my regimen in February after I acquired DA blocker chronic movements. It is now September and I'm ready to resume full treatment - and have started that about 2 weeks ago - which will take awhile and may be a little different than last year - or maybe not. A year ago I was taking 60 Nardil (for me is low dose) + 50-75 Provigil + 2.5 Klonopin. I will be sure to let you know when I get back to a stable regimen. Now I'm increasing Klonopin above 2.0, and at sub-therapetuic 45 Nardil, and that's it. I will see about Nardil - if I will keep it or change it. But probably some changes coming up here in next 1-2 months.

Write me anytime if you want - link at end of my webpage. Great job and you did it nobody else!

> its just that extra 15mgs that might send me over the edge and make me feel awesome. you know i might get more dopamine floating around on 90mg. anyways im doing well and i dont want to mess with it right now.
> chad what are you taking? i rememeber you where a big fan of a small dose of Provigil along with Nardil. how is your current mood?
