> I've read on this board that some actually prefer to drink coffee with Nardil to get rid of the tiredness (i do know the maoi diet premits large amounts of caffeine), and i dont drink large amounts just usually a cup or two, but whenever I drink coffee with caffeine or a frapachino it has a Negative effect on me, like all my panic attacks and my social phobia start to creep back in, can this be possible?
Along the lines of what Scott said in his post, I would say that it sounds like it's possible since it seems to be happening to you. I actually had something similar happen to me when I was taking lithium: I experienced a lot of agitation when I'd consume caffeine despite the fact that much larger amounts of caffeine never made me feel agitated before I started taking lithium. Unfortunately, the agitation and new-found sensitivity to caffeine never went away after I discontinued the lithium.
> has anyone ever experienced a negative effect of caffeine on Nardil?
Personally, no. If anything, I actually seemed to be a little bit less sensitive to the agitation that caffeine can bring on when Nardil was working well for me. Then again, Nardil didn't always work well for me, and there were a few times when I felt a little bit more agitated than usual on Nardil. I can imagine that if I would have started consuming caffeine at those times when I was feeling more agitated than usual on Nardil that the caffeine would have just made the agitation worse.
