> TEPIHi Tepi,
Sorry you're still hurting bud. Let's try something different for at least one whole week, or longer would be better. Increase Nardil to 75..per Ed, and you know Ed knows what he is talking about. Eventually if needed, i would increase it to 90. And please, please, please, NO ALCOHOL! Alcohol will make you worse..sure it makes you feel better for a few hours, but then it backfires on you because it is a depressant!
Xanax. It is excellent for Social phobia, GAD, and Panic disorder. Also has some antidepressant properties. It is very powerful but short acting. My advice is take it 3 times daily while you are needing it very badly. Some Pdocs us 10mgs. or more for someone in an acute psychiatric episiode like you are now. Some may disagree, but you need relief NOW, this is what i would do, and what i recommend. Take 2 mgs. when you wake up, take 2 more mgs. about 5-6 hrs later, or sooner if needed. And take another 2 mg. dose 5-6 hrs. after second dose. So like this: Wake up at 7:00, Take 2 mgs., then at noon take 2mgs., then at 5 or 6:00 2mgs., if needed for sleep take 1 mg. at bedtime. For a total of 6 or 7 mgs. a day. This might make you tired for a week or so..this is a common side-effect and will go away. If you find this is too much for you to function (i don't think it will be) take 1.5 mgs. instead of 2.
I hope this is clear to you my friend. Please fight the urge to Drink Tepi, I know it helps, i used to do it myself, but, you will not get better if you continue to drink. Also, with the Nardil you are taking a Huge risk every time you drink, and just because nothing bad has happened so far doesn't mean the next time it won't. Believe me my friend, you do not want to have a stroke. Please try this regime for at least a solid week my friend. I want you to get well Tepi, and stay well. My prayers are with you Tepi.Tyler
