Dizziness: No I dont have that at 45mg, but I have read as you go up in the drug, so do the number of side effects, many of which eventually disappear or become less prominent over time. Thanks for the warning about 75, hopefully as high as I get is 45 or maybe 60.
Provigil: Thats a great chart on Provigil and one I will keep to show my pdoc if I continue to sleep walk during the day. Spreading the 15mg tablets throughout the day has helped a lot, but it hasn't totally gone away. Maybe it will in another week or so. If not, then I will need to do something, either add Provigil or decrease Seroquel.
Seroquel: It is like being shot with an elephant dart. Ive taken anywhere from 25 to 400 mg, with no side effects, other than dry mouth at start. If there is someone out there who is not taking any other drugs, and they take Seroquel, I cant imagine them not sleeping like a log. Of course, we take Nardil, and any drug interaction could cause the opposite effect (unlikely, but everybody is different). It seems to work the same with me on Nardil. I am taking 150mg now, and hope to eventually go down to 25-50mg. They have sample packets in your pdoc's office. Well there is another side effect, at higher doses it can make you groggy as heck the next day. But that helped me with anxiety. And I just drank some caffeine for that to go away. Actually, when my body becomes used to meds (and it's going to take 3-4 more weeks with Nardil), it seems like the lower dose of Seroquel 25mg was just as effective as higher dose. And you will know the first day you take this med whether or not it works..
Q's for you:
1. How long have you been taking Nardil now? Three weeks? Is it doing anything for you?
2. At what dosage did you finally feel some positive effects?
