Hi,

Thanks to all of you for responding. How long does it take to work approx and at what dose? In the past I was so used to drugs working within a few days so now it's difficult to be patient. How long do you thing I should give them and at what dose. If these don't work then I'm going to start thinking TMS, ECT or VNS but even they aren't a sure thing are they.

Years ago when Antidepressants used to work so quickly and so well, I automatically assumed that they worked that way for everyone, I didn't realise there was such a thing as "treatment resistant depression", the drugs worked so miraculously well I always imagined I would never have to go down there again because the drugs were a sure thing. When I heard stories of people getting suicidal on SSRIs I sort of thought maybe they were at fault, that they weren't giving the drugs a chance or that they may have other issues in their lives that were stopping the drugs from working. Now I know that not to be the case.

I started taking 45mg of Nardil yesterday and so far they feel pretty much like taking an SSRI, initial drowsiness not much else.

Denise
