Hi.

Nardil caused a definiite lessening of anxiety during the second and third weeks. I think I felt a little better during the fourth week. After five weeks, it finally kicked in, sometime during the fifth or 6th week. Believe me, it was worth the wait. I have my life back now and I've been on it seven weeks tomorrow. I feel like a completely different person. The depression is almost entirely gone - most of the time I feel great.

> i just stay in bed barely aware, not being able to keep track of even minor content to my life, especially feelings. i may as well stop communicating at this point, drop my employment programme and shut off my cellphone indefinitely.

You need help. Whatever AD you are on, it's obviously not working.

Not the tardiveEPS rigidity that I'm aware of. The only thing i can think of to help that is to stop whatever med is causing it.

Ii don't know. I do know that SSRI's didn't help me and Nardil does. So I suspect that it would not affect you the same way.

I heard the opposite. That nardil is known for it's longevity.

That's depression talking.

Don't worry about that stuff. That's what we're here for - to listen, offer support and advice. You are not asking too much.
