I've been on Nardil for over 2 months now. My dose has just been upped again. I've tryed pretty much every other type of antidepressant, over 10, and most of them kicked the crap out of me no matter how long I took them, with no possitive results. Nardil has had fewer side effects, and I do feel different, but I am still lathargic and depressed. Maybe it will get better but it's hard to have hope. My depression is the cause of constant emotional, and inconsistant childhood abuse both at home and school. I have been in some form of therapy or analasis since I was five years old. I am 28 now and for the last few years the depression has been worse than ever. I haven't had a girlfriend in over a decade, and all I ever recive is rejection because of my lack of social skills. I now live on SSI because no one will hire me. In the end without intamacy or family support drugs and therapy may just be useless. People for whom antidepressants work always say things like: "I can feel joy again." The problem is I've never felt it in the first place, I had the capacity to, but my joy was always met with anger, judgement, and violence. Now I have lethargy so bad I can hardly do anything.
