> It might be a good idea to ask your doctor for a benzodiazepine, this will help reduce the anxiety and dreas you are feeling.Got that, but it's Klonopin, which is IMO the ugly stepsister of the benzos. Anxiety? better. Depression? worse.
> Tranxene (chlorazepate) might be a good one, you take a single dose at bedtime and it lasts for 24 hours, so you wouldnt wake up tense and anxious, you'd wake up calm and relaxed.
Weird, is it known to have a "hangover" effect like Klonopin? (I get that from Klonopin but not from Xanax. Ativan doesn't do much for my anxiety but will keep benzo withdrawal at bay if nothing else.)
> And of course, yes,you do need to get your nardil upto an effective does as soon as possible.
I agree!
> I cant work out why they only make 15mg pills when most people need 60-90mg per day, a higher dose pill would make dosing a lot more convenientExtended-release mechanisms weren't available when these pills were going off patent (patent protection being one of the chief incentives for drug companies to even market extended-release versions of medicines), and they are so rarely prescribed to not make it worthwhile for them to do so now.
But wouldn't that be awesome? "New once-daily Nardil XR (phenelzine sulfate extended release tablets), 45mg, 60mg, and 90mg tablets."
In an ideal world.
