Ok, lets just assume one is a slow metabolizer. I just started on Nardil (which may be slowing my metabolizing even more). Nardil has been prescribed at 15 mg week one, 30 mg week two and 45 mg week three because I have trouble tolerating medicine. I am starting week two. Side effects are increasing but so far bearable for me but maybe not for others in my family. Depression and social phobia has not really lifted yet and also becoming quite cranky. First 4 days were better than the last 3 days. So what I am wondering is if it would be better to go in the opposite direction. Would it be better to decrease dose instead of increase dose? Take 15 mg every 3 days or just take maybe quarter of a tablet per day? I am also on 50mg of Lamictal bc increasing the dose does not seem to help but no Lamictal causes me more weepiness and sensitivity to rejection.
