Maybe you needed a higher dosage of nortriptyline.

> How does your system handle the Topamax?It has not affected me negatively cognitively at all. I started low and increased the dosage very slowly to 150mg. I then backed off to 100mg. I find that Topamax has a mild energizing effect for me and actually improves me cognitively at 100mg.
> I would like to add something to the Nardil to counteract the severe carbohydrate cravings and associated weight gain. I can't handle any more lowering of my mental capabilities, though. I'm stupid enough already.
Perhaps you can try a stimulant like Ritalin or Adderall first. What was your appetite like when you were taking Nardil + nortriptyline?

Thanks.
You too.
Currently:Nardil 75mg
