In reply to Options for ADD while on Nardil, posted by enndub on March 28, 2014, at 13:51:41

enndub,
i am in a very similar situation as you. i just started nardil (have been on MAOIs in the past) and washed out of 40mg vyvanse which had been the only thing that helped me with my inattentive ADD and working memory issues (i am an engineer/entrepreneur too, i feel your pain).

let me know what you find. there is another interesting post here about aspartame in diet sodas helping when on MAOIs--which I added a reply to. I truly think there is a real phenomenon there, as aspartame converts to phenylalanine which is a dopamine precurser. Try diet coke on an empty stomach...you never know...

In other news, I have heard vyvanse is possible to dump out into a glass of water, stirr around a bit, and titrate dose carefully. obviously as your doctor, but stimulants and MAOIs can be used judiciously. i haven't tried this yet for my own nardil trial, but i plan to once i get enough nardil in my system. i'm seeing some minor improvements as i increase the dose in terms of ADD, but it's not enough. i use nicotine lozanges with nardil which really seem to help for these issues.

my doc is also thinking about trying disulfiram plus MAOI though he said it's very very untested...theoretically though it should increase dopamine in a different way and have less of a risk as an amphetamine.

let me know how it goes.
