I continued to experience palpitations and worsening sleep. This may have led to an increase in worry. Also my blood pressure went up. So I cut back to 12.5 mg and informed my doctor and he said I made a wise choice. Not sure what to do now.
Nardil makes me incredibly tired and somewhat dizzy.
What do you guys experienced with nardil think? Would increasing it be a waste do to side effects?
Also my anhedonia has gotten worse on Nardil so perhaps there would be no benefit to increasing. This is what I tend to believe, but I have read that some fair better on higher doses.
Any ideas would be appriciated. I don't see my pdoc until the middle of October.
