Did you find 2 different articles on this?
First you say it's a sign of overdose, and then that it's an interaction with Clonazepam. Are there two different theories on flushing?
In my case, I am both, (a) taking Clonazepam, and (b) went up my dose (from 60mgs to 75mgs).
But I'm still taking Clonazepam (now down on 60mgs) and there hasn't been a flushing lately at all..
However, I don't take Clonazepam too often.
Mostly I take it when Nardil causes me to get anxious and my arms/hands shake, so I can't type or do certain things. 0.25mgs of Clonazepam will stop the shaking. I haven't shaken lately so I haven't taken it, but it does happen often enough.
I also have never taken a whole 0.5 pill except for once and I hated the way it makes me feel, kind of flat, dull and depressed.
But I really do suspect the overdose is the culprit:
First of all, it began around 4 days after I increased the dose (enough for too much Nardil to accumulate in my body).
The super-overdose (90mgs) also caused a side effect after exactly 4 days -- the splitting, pounding headache.
Both reactions disappeared immediately when I cut the dose down to 60mgs. I actually purposely missed 2 doses to bring the amount of Nardil down in my body, and then started clean the next day on 60mgs.
After bringing the doses down to 60mgs in both cases, both, the rash and the headache were gone.
