I can't thank you all enough for the concern, support and just plain effort you have shown me in this situation. My dad and I are basically best friends, and he is about the only person who really knows the depths of the anxiety/depression issues I have had over the past 5 years or so, and i tell him constantly how I'm amazed by the people on this board. I have had very bad luck with medicines, doctors, and being unresponsive to most any kind of medicine I've ever tried. In almost every case, I swear my body just doesn't respond in a way similar to most other people, be that positive response, dosage ranges, or even side effects (this is the 2nd med I've had a very strange/debilitating response to).
On another note, but not nearly as important as the hr stuff, does anybody have experiences on discontinuation symptoms they had after coming off of Nardil and general time frames for some of the traditional symptoms to subside a bit? I was prepared for this part, and still have horrible headaches, brain fog, overall body jitters (but not really the anxiety I've sought treatment for in the past) and general feeling awful physically mostly. I'm still surprised at the fact that as of now the rebound anxiety/depression symptoms aren't as easily distinguishable, at least not right now. I've decided that over the next several days I'm just going to try to find anything possible to help with temporary relief from my anger and worries. Tomorrow I've decided to get my first ever massage. I've also thought about acupuncture but know very little about it. Anybody have any other suggestions of things I could do that basically involve no phyiscal effort, but may promote relaxation. I do meditate daily.
Thank you all again so much.
