In reply to Nardil crash @ 60mg, posted by pedr on September 8, 2009, at 14:43:46
Hey Pete, I'm in sort of a similar situation as you. I started taking Nardil like two months ago for atypical depression/dysthymia. While I was on 45mg I had a few days of horrid suicidal thoughts which I never had before. Pure horror. But they did pass. I like how someone mentioned in reply to your post that depression is indeed fluid. Moods change. Two bad days feels like they will last forever, but moods ebb and flow and the pressure let's go a little bit over time.
Well, now I've moved up to 60mg and I still feel the mild depression/low-grade constant sadness, no pleasure or joy that has ruled most of my last 12 years. It's not horrible or disabling, but it is suffering nonetheless. I truly hoped Nardil would finally conquer it. My doctor may raise the dose to 75mg as I am about 155-160 lbs. And I pray that will happen. I have so much life to live and enjoy. I just want to be able to live fully and be able to enjoy it. The last week I have been feeling a lot lower because a woman I started dating is not responding back to me.
Try finding a university-affiliated psychiatrist. Or a psychopharmacologist -- no therapy doc. You should have no problem being in NYC.
I wish you the best!
