In reply to Nardil Almost 4 Weeks No Effects - Sedation, posted by jnew12 on November 1, 2008, at 13:10:32
I just wanted to answer your comment that nardil is your last hope. Well, that just isn't true. There are too many meds and combinations out there for you to have tried them all.
When all the logical things have been tried, followed up with nardil, then parnate would be next. After that, choices still abound. Prozac+zyprexa+ritalin/provigil. Zoloft+nortriptyline. Lexapro+desipramine. Anythinng+risperdal. Anything+dexedrine(brand only). And in all choices, insist on brand names only...no generics. This is no time to cheap out. What else. Low dose naltrexone (LDN), read up on it. I could go on and on.
And don't forget the great meds around the world. Japan's number one antidepressant is Milnacipran. Easily available on the net mailorder. Just one example. Seems to have an impressive track record with treatment resistance and severe major depression, either by itself or especially when combined with very low dose risperdal.
Hopefully nardil will show some hint of something real soon. If you have to give up on it, the bright side is that you are one step closer to some med or combo that will have you feeling better, having weeded out another dud.
If you haven't tried parnate, that would be logically next, with no need for any long washout period inbetween.
