In reply to Nardil exhaustion, so tired, posted by n_wolfie on February 25, 2009, at 10:39:01
> I've been on 30 mg of Nardil for about 2 weeks, and my mood is marginally better, but I'm so tired I can barely function. I have to take a nap about an hour after I wake. then another around 5, then I'm exhausted again by 11pm, and then I don't sleep that well. Is this is temporary side effect? Are there any augmentation strategies to keep me awake? Even though my mood is slightly better, I'm just as dysfunctional as when I was severely depressed.
hang in there. how are you planning on titrating? i added one table a week until i reached 60mg. around 45mg a day the debilitating tiredness went away. are you working at the moment? i have a very light schedule / part-time job and have been able to set aside most important responsibilities in order to give the nardil time. i am no pro but i feel that patience is absolutely crucial.
also, how is your sleep? if anyone is reading this, i did not want to start a new thread, so please excuse me posting this here: my sleep is currently horrendous. if i do not take a sleeping aid, i get ZERO hours sleep. i am taking zopiclone, but it is not strong enough and i still find myself waking up after a couple of hours, so tonight switched to Temazepam. what is the most sensible way to avoid tolerance? i was taking every 4th night off but it's difficult - like hey, do i feel like literally staying awake all night tonight and feeling dead to the world tomorrow? Still, i am scared of sleeping pills and do not need to add benzo withdrawal to my problems. is 3 nights on, 4th night off, or can i possibly stretch this to maybe 6nights on, 7th night off?
