> Now as you all know, a couple of months back I stopped Nardil for 17 days to try Anafranil- big mistake.

> Now when I reinstated Nardil with 4 days it kicked back in BIG TIME at 60mg. This lasted 5 days. The next 21 days were devoid off the Nardil effect. Then it kicked back in- but only for 5 days. The next 12 days were again devoid of the Nardil effect. Then after starting Zyprexa, within 2 days, BANG! it kicked back in. This lasted 18 days and then depression came. I thought the depression was from Zyprexa so I stopped Zyprexa. 5 days after stopping Zyprexa and Nardil is not working still. Zyprexa has a 30 hour half life, so if Zyprexa really caused the depression, it should have past- there is only very, very, small bit off Zyprexa in me. Frankly, I don't know what is happening. Please, Please help me. I love Nardil, but before I stopped it for Anafranil it was consistent. Once I stopped the above probs have started.

> Ace.Andrew I wish I could give you a medical logarythm that would set you sailing, one thing I will say is hang in there. I wrote a prominent researcher in the states and he said there are some promising anxiolytics coming out in the next couple years. He said pregabalin which is to come out perhaps at the end of this year. He said he's seen AMAZING things with it and social phobia it's related to neurontin, but much more potent, and devoid of many of the side effects. Hang in there a lot of this crap will history one day in the not too distant future.
Ace, I'm really sorry to hear things are a bit unstable for you - I found that the best dosage of Nardil for myself is very low, (30mg), it never worked wonders, but it gets rid of most of the tormenting OCD thoughts. How ever I feel very dull, like a dog half put to sleep. I'm wondering about augmenting with Neurontin, but I have no idea what dose to start at, or what an appropriate dose to work up to would be any ideas?
nardil 30, zyprexa 10, klonopin 7.
