My psychiatrist actually told me to take Nardil before bedtime. But like most doctors, she has very little experience prescribing MAOIs. Consumers like us probably know way more about MAOIs because we're reading about it so carefully and thoroughly on the web. I've asked a few doctors in the past, and they refused to prescribe MAOIs for me, though I'd already taken many meds unsuccessfully. Anyway, I usually took Nardil during the day. I've noticed that even when the label says to take it at bedtime, I'd experiment with other times of the day, and it'd often feel better for me.

I already have insomnia, so I could not tell if Nardil gave me any more insomnia.

What I like about Nardil, at least at 45mg, is that it does decrease painful, negative feelings and trauma. I could feel the Nardil running through me, like a "wet" feel. Maybe it's the serotonin. I felt a similar feeling on Ativan sometimes.

I've stopped Nardil for the past few days. The side effects have pretty much gone away. My head is clear again, my eyes are opening up again, and typing doesn't feel weird. But I'm getting more of the emotional pain and trauma again.

I'm wondering if I could go back to a lower dose of Nardil and keep taking it to see if it would help. I called my doctor yesterday and explained all that's been going on. We agreed to stay off Nardil for the time being until my next appointment in a few days. Then we'll discuss some more and consider other options, like combinations of meds. Yeah, I've taken every med out there and more, so my options are really running out.
