Hi again,
Because I am a large man, I needed 90mg of Nardil to stop my major depression. When I first took Nardil, 11 years ago, I believe 60 or 75mg did the job. Watch out for the hypomania when Nardil first kicks in. Many people think this is the true antidepressant effect of the med. It is not. It is a side effect that will pass soon. Do not make any major life changes during this time; financial or personal.In my opinion, atypical depression lies somewhere on the bipolar spectrum. Medication induced hypomania can happen. If it does, don't let your doctor pull you off the drug. If you have severe depression, the hypomania will actually feel really good. Some on this board spend a lot of time chasing that feeling. That will not work either. The feeling of euphoria will soon pass(too bad), and the true antidepressant effect of the MAOI will be left.
My normal dosage was 90mg of Nardil, 1mg of clonazepam, and 25mg of Seroquel for sleep.
I still believe that Nardil is a wonder drug. For those of us with atypical depression, it is often the only med that works.
Nardil is a derivative of hydrazine. Marplan is also. Hydrazine is used to make rocket fuel and is also used to make the gas propellant in car air bags. Kind of weird but true.
Be well,
Jedi
