doubt and time: my two worst enemies

Posted by matt66 on February 6, 2003, at 11:55:08

Nardil was like the third drug I tried and it began working within hours. It worked for three weeks and then the therapuetic effects wore off. Since then I have tried EVERYTHING (including ECT) with no response. Now I'm trying the nardil again at a high dose, but I'm having the familiar difficulty of giving the med time to work. I think that since it kicked in almost immediately the first time, the more time I give it now without a response, the less hope I have of it working. This has been my problem with all the meds I've tried. I obsess and look for the smallest signs of improvement, and when I find myself in a familiar situation of anxiety etc., I panic and want to change meds. I know there's no logic to all this mess, but has anyone had an experience where one drug worked immediately and then crapped out, to find that future responses took a lot of waiting? It's so hard to sit on a med for me, especially when I know that it had been working at half this dose the day I started it initially. I'm constantly scheming and thinking of changing meds when I don't get a result (or positive side effects like good dreams etc) right away.
