SG: I love ya. There was no washout from Emsam. I took 15mg for three days, 30 mg for two days, and then began 45mg. I didnt really have that many side effects on 30 and I may in the end go back down to the dose. However, right now I am going to follow doctor's orders. When I go see him in 10 days, he will take my blood again to see how much Nardil is in my blood stream. (He took a baseline test before I started on the Nardil).

Again, I can withstand these side effects because of my hope of getting better, like many others have on this same med at the same dose. Actually, about half in here seem to think that 60 is what you have to take to reach a theraputic level. But hopefully my blood test will show that 45 is just fine.

I am just a guinea pig, I guess. But a willing one. Those SSRIs never did anything for me, just years wasted. At least with Nardil, I have got a shot. I may fail, I may succeed. I feel it will definitely be one way or the other and no inbetween. (The good news is that I have Emsam to fall back on, but I am committed to Nardil for at least two more months, yikes 7 more weeks.)

Basketball? I was just moving in slow motion while the others wanted to run for some reason. With Nardil's rep for causing weight gain, I am going to exercise like crazy. The diet hasnt been a problem. Ate lite Mozarella cheese an hour ago, and BP has been fine, well a little lower than normal.

Thanks for caring. Come join me on the Nardil train! Michael
