In reply to Re: NARDIL USERS: Does it take away ALL anxiety?, posted by Phillipa on March 15, 2007, at 11:52:16
I would say that once I got to 90 mgs, it took away anxiety very well. I did not need neurontin or klonopin, except for sleep.
I also had to take 4-6 hour naps evey day, found my cognitive abilieis dulled and gained 50 lbs in 4 months. Oh, and going to the bathroom, from either end was something I dreaded. Pain, hesistancy, blood in stool....
But from an anxiety point of view, yeah, I was pretty free of it, and my mood was good. But I am not sure i would say that it was better than the way you are describing yours on your current cocktail.
I think you would have to do a 2 week washout with the emsam, then slowly go up to your perfect nardil dose....and then maybe go down again. And with every adjustment up or down, there were terrible bouts of depression and insomnia.
It was a good drug, though... If I were taller and thinner, I would probably revisit it and see if I could get through the side effects with other meds.
