I've been on Nardil (switching btw 30-45mg) for 16 months, along with 2mg Klonopin and 50mg of Seroquel.
Im kinda struggling now w/anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) w/symptoms of depression, therefore that's now why I am back on here searching for ... well, some hope myself.
I will say the last 16 months have been the best out of the past 11 years of dealing with GAD. I've had some solid periods and once went several months without hanging out at my parents, which is my "comfort zone" when I am struggling. I have my own place, but forget about that when I am struggling.
I am struggling now. And when I am struggling, I forget that I ever forget that I felt good? Does that make sense? Other Nardil users, is it like this with you, too? Are there period when the Nardil doesn't work as well? Maybe when you are under stressful times?
I had all the brutal Nardil side effects during the startup, but all have disappeared but daytime sedation. I am just always tired. But I guess I think of that as one of the "trade-offs" for taking the medication. For the most part, I have been better, but Nardil is not a complete cure, which makes me think now about trying another MAOI, perhaps Parnate or ... any suggestions?
Thanks for your input, Michael :)
