I noticed Margo mentioned in her post she had low blood pressure and was taking dexedrine for a sleep disorder - wish I could use a pstim but that would be a risk for me with a normal BP of 130/80.

(not everybody does), then have to discontinue the drug and regain all the weight. In any case, I am sure you know, amphetimine would be very UNSAFE for you to use while taking Nardil, unless closely monitored by your doc.

Hi Geezer
The two posts i sent you have been both written by other people. I never took Nardil (and i wouldn't be concerned about weight gain in case it would work).
I'm actually on a Tegretol trial for bipolar depression and it's not working : i'm really discouraged.
Anyway, I've read somewhere in the archives that taking Memantine would counteract pstim tolerance.
Somebody did it with success (but i can't tell you who and when).wishing you the best
