Hi all,
As many of you know I was doing well on my Nardil, but that may have been a blip, I don't know.
Anyways, I am now experiencing intense anxiety, even while on Nardil, which really surprises me.
I'm OK, the anxiety disappears, if I stop my Nortriptyline. And trying Ritalin leads to anxiety too.
What do you guys think? Is adding either Nortriptyline or Ritalin just adding too much Norepinephrine on top of that which the Nardil is adding, as it starts to kick in? I have been told I suffer from atypical depression if that means anything.
But, at this point, I'm seriously considering stopping the Nortriptyline and just being on Nardil on its own. Cos that way I won't get any anxiety. And to me, anxiety is worse than depression!! Problem is, as many of you know, I am on a sub-therapeutic dose of Nardil due to the ataxia I experience at higher doses, so it may not make much of an impression on my depression.
Oh, and I had a pdoc appt yesterday and he really wants me to stay on the Nortriptyline. Do you guys think this anxiety will eventually abate?
I am befuddled. And sick to death of trying to find a solution that works. And here I was feeling so good last week. That's now a distant memory.
Anyways, any ideas/input would me much appreciated. I'm feeling just miserable.
Thanks,
Kat
