the only problem is sexual side effects and craving sweets. i cant get enough chocolate:)
as far as the antidepressant effect it is doing really well. as far as the social phobic/anxiety effect it is starting to wean a bit. i thought it would make me vewry outgoing but it has not.
im on a solid dose at 75mgs and been there for a good time now. anorgasmia is really bad. since i went up to 75mgs nothing!!!!. but im living with it.
hey had to put my cat on elavil said the vet. he was crying all night long for weeks cause i moved back in with mom for a while. he said we will keep him on for 3 months and wean him off. so far so good he is not crying anymore. fingers crossed.

In reply to Nardil doing well, posted by ross on April 22, 2002, at 22:21:53
Ross,
Glad to hear you've given Nardil a second chance and that it's working so well.
The anorgasmia IS a bitch; so start priming your doc for a switch to Parnate. May not have the SP ability that Nardil does, but the AD effect is just as good. That's why I switched after a few years on Nardil. (only drawback is a two week washout from the Nardil)
BTW, you may find that after about four weeks at 75 mg/day, you may be able to cut back. You have to do it very slowly though so you can tell what's going on. I found I had to ramp up to 5 tabs a day at first, but could then cut down to 2 tabs (30 mg ?) one day and 3 the next. That was the minimum: any less and the depression would return.
This is the end of the thread.
