Day 1 on Nardil: Few questions

Posted by 4WD on March 7, 2008, at 15:32:38

Hi.

Yesterday was my first day on Nardil. The only side effect I have experienced is the constipation - started right away. And I woke up about 45 minutes earlier than usual this morning.

Actually so far, I feel worse. I keep reminding myself I am basically not on an antidepressant - been off Celexa for over two weeks and Nardil not working yet but I feel horrible. The only reason I am able to post here is that I took half a Provigil about an hour and a half ago and that helped some.

Qeustion one: When will the brain zaps from the Celexa washout go away? Is it normal to be still having them after over two weeks?

Question two: Should I attack the side effects before they attack me? Should I start treating the constipation now? I took Glycolax, a (pardon me) stool softener this morning. I don't think it is going to be strong enough to do the job though.

Question three: I already have low blood pressure. On a good day it is about 103/65. On a bad day 95/60. I there something I can do to raise my blood pressure before the Nardil hypotension sets in? Eat more salt? Is there a med out there that raises blood pressure?

I could sure use some encouragement. I had a bad crying jag this morning and again about 2. Not just weepy, total despair.

Thanks all,

Marsha
