In reply to Nardil relapse - please give me some hope, posted by UGottaHaveHOPE on October 10, 2007, at 20:07:53
Hi,
I've been off and back on Nardil about four times in the past eleven years. It has always seemed to work again for me, usually in less time than my original six weeks or so. However, I have never returned to that initial euphoria when Nardil worked for the first time. I believe this euphoria was mild hypomania and is a side effect of the medication, not the antidepressant effect. It felt good, but in my case I think I am lucky that it did not return.
Take care,
Jedi
> This summer, I tried Nardil at 45mg and had a window that I felt the best I had felt in years from anxiety/depression. One day in June I went out of town for two days and forgot to bring my meds. When I returned, I started taking 15mg of Nardil and felt the same. I know, I know, I made a mistake.

> Then in July and August, I moved and made several other big changes in my life. And I have not handled it well. I felt just as bad as Ive ever felt in the past 10 years. I returned to the 45mg dose of Nardil four weeks ago, and have not returned to how I was feeling before. I am scared.

> Do you think I can feel how felt before on Nardil? How long do you think it will take? I am hoping not the 8-10 weeks it took for the initial effect. Has anyone quit Nardil and then got back on it? If so, how long did it take for it to kick in for you?
