preventing nardil poopout

Posted by bigcat on July 17, 2005, at 18:46:30

Nardil works magic for me for a few weeks, then always poops out. it's nearly impossible to live comfortably knowing the life I'm missing out on. I have no personality whatsoever, and feel completely disconnected with life in general.

Besides relieving my depression, the nardil gives me acess to my brain. I become articulate, insightful, funny, animated, creative, and confident in conversation. I tried adding dexedrine one time to the nardil and that did seem to help, but i was a bit hypomanic, and I feared that I would keep needing to up the dexedrine dose to keep it working.

After reading this board for a while, it seems this is a common problem with nardil, and I was just wondering if anyone had found a viable solution. Oh, in addition, after maybe five unsucessful trials of Marplan, it eventually kicked in wonderfully as well, but made me hypomanic for a few weeks and then faded on me.

I've tried the parnate many times (as well as the selegeline and moclobomide) to no avail. Are there any meds out there which seem to mimick the maoi effect? SSRI's do nothing for me, so I'm thinking of a tricyclic. When I was trying this group I often bailed out on the trials early because they all seemed to make me much worse at first, but possibly if i had stuck with them I could have achieved some relief. I've also considered trying Effexor again, but I remember the withdrawal being the worst experience of my life.

As far as the nardil/dexedrine combo is concerned, my pdoc was speculating that that the maois have amphetamine properties so a combination might be the ticket. I also read somewhere about wellbutrin and nardil being a possibility. Sorry for the ramble, but i'm increasingly desperate as my life can't even get off the ground until I overcome this devastating illness. thanks in advance...
