Hi all.
Whilst searching for possible augmenting meds for Nardil, Idebenone caught my attention. As well as being a highly efficiant antioxidant (it's a synthetic analog of CoQ10, and does a better job too), it also enhances memory, attention, cognition, and behavior, and increases serotonin turnover too! For more info try:

So far its been very effective. I feel happier, worrying has gone and today I noticed my SP (which Nardil was becoming increasingly less effective for) is much less too. It's even settled the compulsiveness I get from my Provigil. I can absolutely 'feel' its serotonin effect, so much so that I even feel euphoric at times, but with an unsteady inner tension too. Time to reduce the dose I think, dont want SE syndrome. I started on 300mg (150mg b.i.d.), but will reduce to half that. I now realise 100mg/day is often enough. Of course, any SE agonist will interact with Nardil. Need to be cautious with this one.
Well just wanted to share my (so far) success with it. I think quite a few people are/have been curious of Idebenone but its not mentioned very often.
Cheers.
