Re: Switch from Nardil to Parnate

In reply to Switch from Nardil to Parnate, posted by Sailboat77 on November 17, 2010, at 15:22:21

I saw my doctor today and he suggested I stay on the Nardil for another month (it's been about 1 month already on Nardil). He explained that I need an additional month at 90mg because it sometimes takes that long for an MAOI to take full effect. I'm resistant to most meds, so it may take longer for my brain structure to change.

The side effects such as fainting for a brief few seconds and ringing in my ears are apparently caused by a drop in blood pressure (hypotensive episode) when I stand up too quickly. Apparently, this isn't all too uncommon, although my reaction is more intense than most people.

If after another month at 90mg of Nardil without a significant improvement in mood, then I'll have the option of switching to Parnate. So far I've hit a brick wall and have stopped getting the improvement I did initially when I fist started, so we'll see what happens.

-Thanks for all the input
