> It's great that you are giving Nardil a trial, as some say it is the No. 1 med for SAD. I am concerned that you took so much so quickly, but I really dont see that hurting you, other than maybe some freaky side effects, which should eventually go away.

> Even if you start up Nardil under the correct dosage, you will have a lot of nasty side effects the first 6-8 weeks, most of which go away. These side effects are a major reason why many ppl quit the drug, which is a shame because it can be a miracle drug for some.

> Many ppl would say that 6-8 weeks is a fair trial on Nardil. For me, it took 8-10 weeks for a response, and 12 for it really to kick in. Keep posting your thoughts and experiences. Michael

Hi Michael, I sure did start at a high dose but I was so deperate for it to kick in. As I drove towards the clinic to get Nardil I was also thinking of driving off some little side trail where I knew there was a hidden lake with 2 small cabins. I just wanted to squat in one for the winter and never deal with SAD again. Im a pretty good bush man as I was a trapper for a year. But I gripped my stearing wheel and went for the Nardil and back to college for one last try (I know some Doc's dont like to perscribe it if they dont know you, but if you know what to say then they'll give it to you [probably not a good talent]). I'm one lucky guy to have been able to tolerate starting at 75 and thats the dosage im still on. I think that starting at that dose gave me the therapeutic effect alot faster (because I would have inhibited mao 80% roughly by week 1) then those who titrate (I felt it kick in at 3.5 weks). I hope it kicks in more because I sure could use a bit more boost to speak in classes and GIVE A PRESENTATION!!!!!!! my worst fear of all. Dont worry Im not letting the med do all the work I just went to my first toastmasters too.

I'll kepp you posted. Ps. I's Id love to hear your experience and where your at these days with the Nardil.
