Hi ross:
I can almost feel your panic jumping right through the computer. It sounds like you have been through this before and you were okay. You will be okay this time. You are be closely supervised by your doctor. Although I don't know much about serotonin syndrome, I believe you may end up with a major headache and some shakiness, as opposed to a hypertensive crisis from food interaction from Nardil.
Ross, try to relax. At least you know that Nardil is going to work for you. There are so many of us that stay deeply depressed every day because the right drug or combo has not been found and don't know if we will ever get well. I am on week 6 taking Nardil for the first time, and can only pray that it will work. I can barely stand this unrelenting, dark, disabiling, hell of depression. I am 51 years old and have suffered depression all of my life. I almost feel Nardil is my last chance after 25 years of different meds, combos, ECT twice, on and on ............
Ross, you are going to be okay. Relax. Seriously, do some deep breathing and refocus your attention. Remember the advise from Ace. You will soon be telling him how well you are feeling and that you will never stop taking Nardil again.
Slow down, take it easy, refocus, deep breath and let us know how you are doing.
