> All I can do is give my genuine advice that you stay with the Nardil, and even raise it to a level that has in your experience provided the most amount of relief from the depression and heartache you seem to be familiar with.

I am definitely tending to this view. It's just a viscous, frustrating cycle. So many people here can relate with this depression and heartache.

As for the Xanax, I can't make much of a recommendation considering my experience is limited.

That is a very very good point. And something which i must remind myself about- constantly.


I myself tried Nardil 2 months ago and felt for the very first time a limited antidepressant effect. But I hit a brick wall and the dose increases failed to bring me to a level of happiness or even level of mere contentment (I also had awful side effects where I would pass out and fall over once or twice a day).

What dose were you on?
Were you on other medications in combination?
You did report this s/effect to your doctor?


My point is, is that although the Nardil comes with side effects and all sorts of problems concerning stable effectiveness, I would continue to stick with it. The possibility alone of halting the depression makes it worth the fight.

Parnate can be an extremely effective drug in the right patient. I really hope this drug provides that relief you seek.

I will- and you too! Even when we feel so low we can't get out of bed, you just have to keep on keeping on!

All the very best,
Ace
