Thinking of trying nardil but scared

Posted by socialphobic on July 27, 2008, at 7:28:03

Hi everyone,

I suffer depression with social phobia. I have pretty much tried all the antidepressants available with no success. I've tried all the SSRI's, a handful of TCA's and a few combos with antipsychotics.

A few years ago I managed to find a GP that gave me nardil. I took one dose then was freaking out for the rest of the day every time I ate something. After that I didn't take any more because the anxiety of getting a hypertensive crisis was too much.

I have done a lot of research into nardil, including these forums. It seems that pretty much everyone who's tried it has raved on about how great it is. I have read many of ace's posts on here and it sounds like a miracle drug for depression and social phobia.

However, I am very concerned about the dietry restrictions. I've read posts where people say they've accidentally ate something wrong which resulted in a bad migrane and a trip to hospital.

It's not just the food interactions i'm worried about either. What if you were in a bad accident and required immediate surgery? From what i've heard you can't have anesthetic while on an MAOI? Is this true? If so, wouldn't you be screwed?

If I did work up the courage to try nardil again, is it possible to get a hypertensive "antidote" to lower your blood pressure? Is this advisable?
