Hello all.
I started Nardil at 45mgs for 8 days, 60mgs for 3 days, then ramped it up to 75mgs which i have been on for about 13 days.
My question is can benzo's cause Nardil to loose its effeciacy?The reason im worried is because while i was on parnate, taking valium or xanax etc. for sleep would cause parnate to stop working the next day.
Parnate would then be less effective after a few days.
So basically i would, either put up with insomnia for 4-5 days and feel ok or put myself to sleep and feel horrible and have to increase the dose after a while due to poop out.
Another thing that made me come to that conclusion was parnate would make me a little dizzy and give me dilated pupils, this would also dissapear when taking a benzo for sleep as would any positve feelings.
I experienced insomnia for the first time on nardil the other night and i took some ambien to try and counteract this.
I also had a slightly increased heartbeatfrom the nardil.
40 mins after ingesting the ambien my heartrate returned to normal, i didnt feel dizzy and my pupils went from dilated to constricted.Sorry for such a long post but im just wondering is it possible im in a small minority where benzos can cause an maoi to not work as well?
Im not neurotic, it's just that nardil is my last shot and it hasnt started working yet, im just afraid ive buggered it and may have to increase the dose.
Had any one else experienced anything like this?
Any advice greatly appreciated :)
