Hi Ace -
I am really glad to hear that you are starting to get some results! I hope that things continue to work out and get better!
About your question - I haven't read much on it except Gorman's comment that like with other meds if you get more sleepy from Nardil then maybe at bedtime, but if activating in the AM, etc. Personally I have always taken it all in the AM, (very activating for me!) except at my highest dose 90mg I used to take 5 tabs in the am and one at noon. I think you will discover in time if you experiment a bit. Multiple doses thoughtout the day aren't usually necessary because Nardil's effect is pretty long lasting. One or two doses a day I think is most common.
Thanks for the kind words! By the way I notice you are familiar with biopshychatry.com :) That is my one and only favorite website of all time I was lucky I found it 5 years ago and he is about 10 years ahead of Dr's I think! :) I copied his format a bit! - I don't *think* he is mad about it we have known each other via email a little bit and he knows about it - maybe I should change that though since people I copied it so much that people think it is off his site! :)
Ace - Good luck man - I hope things continue to work and work better. If a lower dose partially works a higher one typically works better. Keep us all posted there has to be plenty of people with the combo of SP + OCD who are looking for something that works!!!Chad

> Dear Chad,
> Thanks for the reply, dude.
> Also, your website is spot on. The part on Nardil is one of the sensible I've ever seen. So many people love to scare people away from the MAOIs. Considering how much better they are than the SSRIs this is silly. I'm finally starting to notice some good effects and I've got a big smile on my dial! And I'm sure the best is definately yet to come!
> Also, thankyou so much for the link you put to the Biospsychiatry article. Talking about lifting my mood! I was concerned about the lack of info on NARDIL/OCD before I read this, but this was great (by the way, I am also starting to note some serious improvements in my OCD).

> Just one question -- do you think it makes a big diff if you take Nardil in divided or single doses?
