Lifelover,
If you were doing so well on Nardil, why did your Dr. take you off it. I know you said because you were on a high dosage, but why couldn't you just lower your dosage. Did you feel anything before the med kicked in at two months. I am still confused about MAOIs. Usually, you hear about symptoms decreasing in intensity over time. People on MAOIs talk about all of the sudden the med "kicks in". Was this true in your case or was it gradual changes you noticed. Sorry for the questions.
To Mantus,There are platelet MAO levels that can be checked. You obviously want those levels close to zero and definitely below 20 percent. You might want to check your MAO platelet levels when you can. Say for instance your MAO levels are at 50%, well you will know that you still need to give the medication time. The test might help with the anxiety.
