In reply to Questions On Depression and Nardil, posted by luckyduck on January 12, 2011, at 0:37:50
First off I'd like to say that Nardil is a medication that seems to work amazingly well when nothing else seems too but I would also say it is certainly not your last hope. There are so many treatments in development now(not all medication by the way) that it is only the beginning.
Also, has anybody ever suggested you might have a varient of bipolar? The kind that only manifests itself as primarily depressive symptoms? Early depression at a young age. Comorbid ADHD and a family member with bipolar could make that a possibility.
Have you ever tried a mood stabilizer?
That "surge" of energy could be perhaps a hypomanic state?
If the Nardil doesn't work(which sometimes it even treats bipolar) maybe you might want to try a mood stabilizer. You might as well give it a shot. If you are still depressed after you try one then at least you will know.
