Hi SLS, I wrote about my Nardil experience here:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20160609/msgs/1090174.html>Is it that Nardil didn't work for you, or did you stop it because of side effects?
I stopped it because of extreme and numerous side effects. I really gave it a good try.>How long did you take it for, and what was the dosage?
About 1.5 months. Started at 7.5mg, titrated up to 45 mg.>What were the side effects that gave you the most trouble?
Worst was the panic attack - it was terrifying, and I thought I needed to go to the ER. And there was another day that I had extreme symptoms as well - felt extremely sick, couldn't stand/walk straight, sharp zaps in head, dizzy, and weirdest of all - loud sounds were much louder, distinct, tinny, and trippy. Some of these symptoms sound typical, but on that day, they were extreme.>How old were you when you first developed symptoms?
About age 11>How old are you now?
Mid-30s>Is there a history of bipolar disorder in your family?
No.>Have you tried clomipramine (Anafranil) yet?
Yes, also gave me panic attack on the bus. Also made me weak, sickly, pallor in face, dilated eyes, etc.Thanks for your responses - I appreciate it.
