Nardil was the second AD I tried after Elavil and it well for a few years. I knew nothing about depression back then and never thought it would still be hitching a ride from me all these years. For many of us, it is a disease for life.
I still think I have a brain deficiency in the dopamine system since MAO's gave me a complete response twice (marplan worked too). I was on SSRI's too but never got complete responses with them, only lots of apathyand SE's.
I'm trying Emsam now, only one week into trial with some positive effects, like reduced negative thoughts and more organized thinking with task completion. My pdoc said Emsam can causes increased energy before it reduces depressive symptoms. I'm happy with the energy it has given me since I have done very little for the last 6 months.
I keep reading about Amisulpride being great for
depression like I have, with symptoms of anhedonia and social anxiety, and wonder about this drug as being a possibility for me in the future. I'm starting to gather info on it for this reason. Did you ever try it?BTW, when I was on NArdil I was on 15 mg twice a day, for total of 30 mg.
I'll be following your post with hopes for success since I know when it works it can be a good one. I think I got 3 years from it. Better than most for me...SG
