>"... he's also referred me to another doctor who's an acolyte of the Pfeiffer Center, and has recently performed blood tests to confirm my histamine type, which i'm waiting on."
hmmm...can you explain this a bit more...you have me interested here. I know histamine receptors are different but....does this relate to depression and anxiety more than I think? I know many old meds like TCA's are based on antihistamine structure lending to their efficacy in depression...but testing for histamine type, I had no idea. I'm assuming you can then direct a specific med according to this type?
>" i moved up to 75mg today. am dreading the insomnia though at least i know it goes away. believe me, i am not in a rush to get off Nardil - it by far out-classes any of the SSRI's i've tried up til now, and it would break my heart if it didn't work out. but like you say, i'm trying to rationally weigh up the pro's and con's "
remember to not fear the insomnia. To me it doesnt feel like insomnia in the beginning. That amphetamine drive or whatever it is exactly that keeps me wanting to go and go (in the beginning) really prevents you from feeling what tired should make you feel like. That takes many weeks. I lived as an insomniac with no sleep med apart from sups and herbals for almost 3 months...by month 2 my body starting to "tap me on the shoulder", so to speak, saying hey I'm screwed here get some sleep. But before that....go go go go...2h sleep who cares...nardil says wham lets go again with the morning dose lol
