> > > I'm so glad to hear you're doing so well..I'm doing much better now that the respiratory infection is almost cleared up..feeling the energy again..based on the 1/kg I should be taking 90 mg..I'm still at 45 but see my pdoc on Wednesday, so will discuss increasing..I agree with your statements about Nardil..it's nice to feel like "me" again, without the apathy that SSRI's gave me..

> > >
> > > Oh, and about the gas..I hear you..I don't know what can be done about it..but it's pretty bad! I've been eating lots of activia yogurt and that seems to help a bit..but I'll live with it and walking like a drunken sailor to feel alive again.

> > > I'm almost back to the land of the living..I've even gone on 4 dates! You could hardly get me out of the house before October..Unbelievable results..

> > Glad you're feeling like "you" again. It's a great feeling isn't it? Also glad that I'm not alone with some of the weirder side-effects (gas, "drunkedness") How are you doing on your other meds? How is your sleep?

> > Is the yogurt OK? My pdoc told me no yogurt unless I made it myself (who the heck makes their own yogurt), and it was less than 5 days old. He's very restrictive on the diet. I would LOVE to eat yogurt again. No BP Problems?

> I'm sure I read on this site you can eat yogurt as long as it's not near the expiry date. I eat it every night and haven't noticed any changes..also large amounts of chocolate and caffeine don't bother me either (although I'm gaining weight again cause I don't have a little bowl of yogurt, it's a big one as my craving for sweets is getting worse, and can satisfy my sweet tooth sometimes).

> Finally my sleep is sooo much better after I went to 50 mg of seroquel and split another zopiclone in half and took one and a half..don't know if I should have done that, but it sure did the trick..

> So Nardil buddy, I'll post after my pdoc appointment and yes if you could send that article, I'll show it to him. It will be interesting to see what he has to say.

>Here's the best reference I have:
http://archpsyc.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/35/5/629
It's from a respected journal that your pdoc will recognize. Let me know how your pdoc appointment goes. Good luck and I hope it goes well! I have one on Thursday.
