When a psychmed "stops" working. I'm not entirely sure I buy into this fully though...I suspect this has more to do with the patients interpretation of how the med works based on good/great effects noticed within the first few months of treatment. Nardil was a whole different med during early response. I had tons of physical energy/stimulation that was pumping through my body that I could feel in my muscles, I had this strange sensation in my head that was overpowering and made me smile and laugh along with people, the sense that I was successful in talking to someone, eye to eye without anxiety, sent this physical feeling though my body that felt good. This is what people think nardil is supposed to be like...but when this stops after some months or weeks they say hey it's pooped out I need to up the dose to get that back or change meds. But I suspect this isnt nardil working in the long run...it's your bodies/brains adaptation to the med before it 'equilibrates'. For me now it's subtle in how it works, still going strong though. It changes my reactions and behaviours slightly...you have to pay attention to how you react in situations where you would normally react poorly without meds. There is no physical indication that you are taking the med when it's totally stable over the long term..it's just there working 'under the surface'. It is the easiest med, in terms of long term sides, ive ever taken.
