Brooke, are you not sticking with Nardil becasue of the GI SE's? They all have SE's to some degree, so just when you think you were worse off on something you realize it worked better than the one you just switched to. It's a game and the stakes are very high.

As you know I have spent more than half my life with trying to find something that has worked enough so that I could work and live a relatively "normal" life. Some years have been more tolerable than others with an OK combination but never feeling all that great. The last few years have been very difficult and you forget how much life is lost to med trials when you basically are just alive waiting for something good to happen. Alot of time is wasted trying so many meds but then without trying you essentially are still wasting your life.

I haven't been off meds for more than a few trial months since 1987 when I tried my first AD and I waited until my late 20's to take my first AD since I denied I was depressed until then. The meds back then, pre-Prozac, were not all that good, although the second med tried, Nardil, worked for about 2 years, then it pooped out when an inexpereinced young pdoc kept trying to get me off of it. I think I probably only needed a higher dose and it would have worked fine. They knew so little about raising doses back then.

Oh well, hopefully Nardil will be the one, I haven't given up on it yet. It's doing something, just with the side effects, the positive effects are still unclear.

Good luck to you finding one that will benefit you as well,if Nardil isn't the one for you.
