> Hey Ace, I have followed your posts for sometime now and I want to let you know I find them interesting and intriguing . I dont' want to come across harsh,but let me ask you a question ?
You don't sound harsh at all, and thankyou so much for caring.
Since most of your posts make it apparent that you are a pretty significant responder to Nardil-I mean from what I have read, this drug is the king of kings, for Social Phobia and Depression. I, like you am on a quest for a drug, or combination of drugs/and nutrients/supplements that will chase away the demons of depression away-however have you ever considered that just because you don't feel good everyday-that this may be normal, and that perfect remission might not be totally attainable?This is the thing. My first 3 months on Nardil were breathtaking. Depression 110% alleviated....i remember writing in my mood journals that i was feeling 'brilliant'. I was euphoric. But I had to be silly. I stopped Nardil to attain a greater anti-OCD response via Anafranil. When this failed, I went back to Nardil. After about a week it was breathtaking again. Then stopped. Then after 2 weeks, for a period of a month it was once again brilliant. After that it faded. at times it still works really well, but I am yearning, absolutely yearning for that euphoric effect. Thats why I have tried these add-ons.
But, unfortunately they havent helped. I am trying L-tryptophan 2 grams next, with Nardil at 60mg (once I have recovered from this depression now)
> Again, I do not want to come across as harsh or unsympathetic, but man if I was getting the kind of responses to an AD that most of your posts imply-I would be absolutley, without a dought, and fantastically happy as a flying pig!!!!
I admit, I am a greedy pig! But I so so yearn for that previous brilliance. Maybe one day I will just have to accept what I get. Right now, I just can't accept it.
> I know Nardil rules for you,It still does, but not as much as before.
but I hope you are at least under the care of a very competant p-doc,
No! I am being my own doctor. My doctor is my drug supplier (within limits)!
> with all the add ons' augmentations, and potentially risky interactions with the combo of meds can have with each other- esp. the maoi's!!! I gotta say you remain determined to feel the best you possibly can- but DUDE PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
> Very Best Wishes
