First of all, to everyone of you, whom i would personally love to adress individually....I love you guys....so much support i feel from you guys is amazing.
Secondly, good news!! after my 4/5 day slump into the abyss it is passing! and im sure its the combo of Nardil/Zyprexa and Xanax...today i got out of bed and studied my biology....i havent cried today which is also a good sign. Right now Im at my university, so im not under the sheets...
Essentially my doctor said to me, that we are mixing very potent CNS drugs which are not specific in the sense that some other drugs are...I agree. He wants me to go slower on things. For example I titrated tegretol before to 500mg within 2 days and was a zombie. anything goes....i belive it was the combination of going of zyprexa and changing to seroquel that was the aeitiology of this slump. It was a short lived period of major depressive episode, and feeling it makes my heart absolutely bleed for those who have to struggle through this a life time.
Next time i add on another drug, I am going to titrate REAL slow...and monitor my affective
state very closely.Today I am 50% better.
I will endeavour to get Nardil's FULL effects back....
1. I will try Linkages idea
2. I will try 15mg for 6 weeks then titrate straight to 90mg
3. i will up the dose to 135mg (if enzyme induction is the problem, this should solve it)
Also, I have to be a little less greedy. Most of the time on Nardil I feel very good...and that's preety good considering what some of my other sufferers are going through. It has also ELIMINATED my social phobia 100% It has done tremendous things for me....I will try to regain the euphoria, as i am positive we can achieve this. I told my doc if we have to cease it for 3 months I would fall to peices- he suggested Xanax and Remeron in the 3 month break. My doc is a very good man to me. I should also state that Zyprexa is another winner for me...it has really shut off a lot of the EXTREMELY painful OCD.
Guys, I really want to thank you again. As i write this i have goose bumps, that people care so much about me.We all have that cold hand of suicide over our shoulders, which someone said, but we have to keep on fighting. We can't give in.
I am here for anyone to ask me anything, sometimes because of uni i am very busy, but i look at psycho babble at least 3/4 times a week.
Wishing you all peace and happiness- God knows you guys deserve itand yes- i am still the Nardil Champ!
Ace- on the way up!
Nardil 60
Zyprexa 2.5
