Either placebo is a VERY powerful drug or I am beginning to respond to Nardil therapy at day two. And only on 45mg!
(This happened the very first time I was on Nardil - within a week it began to kick in.)
Nothing dramatic, but I noticed I have started to enjoy music again. Verbal fluency is improved, and a friend of mine who saw me today noticed a change - he said that when I'm depressed I have trouble looking people in the eye...
This very well could be a false alarm. I'll keep you guys posted.
(For the record, this also happened to me when I started Zoloft therapy in 2001 - it started working within 3 days.)
I guess what I want to know is: Does this mean anything clinically if this is a true AD response and not a placebo response? ADs are NOT supposed to take effect this quickly, are they? It isn't as though everything seems magic, perfect, and fixed (and that's not what I want anyway) - but
I have felt more like myself today than I have in a LONG time. Not 100%, but significant.Hoping this is not a placebo response,

Please, please let this continue. I need to start rebuilding my life...
