Lots of people have lots of very different symptoms but just because you are having those THOUGHTS...... does not mean you are experiencing psychosis. Anxiety disorders can do lots of nasty things in our heads and weird feelings in our body.What is your diagnosis and what are you currently taking if anything right now!Yes I have had those very same symptoms and I am not psychotic. Give us some more info so we can try and help you out with your fears and you can hopefully put your mind a little more at ease.

I think everyone feels this way at one time or another. Especially when our self-esteem is down, or our anxiety is up. Fondly, Phillipa

Yes snapper, although this was a diagnosis made by myself. I have seen many doctors since I was 16. One told me, the doctor saw me first, that I have an squizoaffective disorder (depressive type)

>I believe that Nardil was your drug of choice.What happened.

Yes Nardil has helped more than any other drug but I still suffer alot in my life. I made this post because Im on Seroquel too, and I would like to hear opinitions wheter I should increase the Seroquel or the Nardil.
Rigth now Im on 45 of Nardil, aimining to 90.

Thank you very much Snapper, nice to meet you my friend

Hi Tep!

Why does your doctor think you have schizoaffective disorder?

>There is also this mania of reading the mind of people

Do you mean that you feel like you can read people's minds or that you worry about what people are thinking about you?

Hi Ed , I guess where you are trying to go with this question. It is not that I can read people mind but that I am worried about what they are thinking about me. So my brain start to guess what the person must be thinking about me in that precisely moment. It is always bad things about me


Can you understand me Ed ??

Hi Tep!

Sorry, you did say your doc thought you were schizoaffective :-S

>It is not that I can read people mind but that I am worried about what they are thinking about me. So my brain start to guess what the person must be thinking about me in that precisely moment. It is always bad things about me.

Sounds like social phobia to me, definitely doesn't sound psychotic. Increase the Nardil! It's helped you so far, maybe it can help you more!

Thank you :-)

>sometimes I don´t know how to express myself in English

Your English is very good.

>can you tell me if Nardil is available in the UK , and which is brand of Nardil they sell?

Yes, it is available. It's sold as 'Nardil' and it's manufectured by Hansam. If you scroll down the page you'll see a thread started by Ted Brosnan. Ted lives in Norway (where Nardil is not on the market). His pharmacy has just imported Nardil for him from Hansam.

>is it difficult to find a doctor who prescribes MAOIS in the UK ???

Yes, it's quite difficult :-(

Thanks Ed !
Ed what would you suggest me to do If I were going to live in the UK for one year. Should I buy tons of Nardil here in America and taken them with me ??? , or maybe would be easier to find quickly a doctor who prescribes MAOIS ??

I dont know if changin now from the New Nardil to the old Nardil , could affect me? what do you think

Greetings !
Tep

Hi Tep!

>Ed what would you suggest me to do If I were going to live in the UK for one year.

This is exciting, Tep is coming to the UK! Are you coming to England? Why are you coming? When are you coming?

>Should I buy tons of Nardil here in America and taken them with me ??? , or maybe would be easier to find quickly a doctor who prescribes MAOIS ??

If I were you I'd probably bring quite a lot with you because it may take a while to find a doctor who is willing to prescribe it. You should be able to find one eventually though so you probably won't need to being a whole years supply!

>I dont know if changin now from the New Nardil to the old Nardil , could affect me? what do you think

I think the UK Nardil *is* the new Nardil, Ted seems to think otherwise- I'm not sure why though.

>Which part of UK do you live?

I'm from West Yorkshire (W. Yorks), England. At the moment I'm in the City of Manchester, Lancashire (Lancs).

See W. Yorks and Manchester (G. Mancs) on the map of the English counties.....

I will agree with Ed that maybe that's more social phobia. And it doesn't even have to defined as that, really, unless it causes dysfunction in your life. For example, if you fear being judged by people when walking thru the mall to the point where you can't even go to the mall, we have a social phobia issue. On the other hand, if you wake up one morning and head straight to the mall without shower, and then proceed to wonder if people are looking at your messy hair or oily face, that's more normal. I believe it's normal to be wondering what people are thinking, or to assume what they might be thinking. Not only that, but let's say you fear conversation with strangers because you are afraid for example that they see your head shaking from the meds you take. This isn't necessarily abnormal. When I was a teenager I used to make fun of people who looked different... and if you look different because your head is shaking, you have every reason to believe that people might be thinking bad things about you. People are not perfect. But if it causes you to not want to go out in public, its social phobia. You probably need a little self confidence boosting to feel at ease and comfortable with yourself. Theoretically, Nardil will provide the extra serotonin and norepinephrine alteration to help that situation. On the other hand, if you're absolutely CERTAIN that people are judging you, that's more psychotic. It's one thing to think people MIGHT be looking at you, its another to feel like you KNOW people are looking at you. According to the research, you would probably have too much activity at your dopamine 2 receptors in the mesolimbic region of the brain that makes you exceedingly paranoid. Thus, antipsychotics would make you feel less certain that people are looking at you and you'd be able to take a more rational approach. So unless you feel like you have an unshakeable knowingness that people are starting at you, you have nothing to worry about and to me its within the realm of normal.

Well, I am so worried because I have been in this condition during 9 years , I am 25 now.
Do I have to live like this for the rest of my life?
Maybe there is nothing outside that is gonna give me my life back. Sometimes I feel like if were getting used to this abnormal life ,and that, is something I am not going to allow. I want to be part of this life like a normal person and not like an stupid and fearfull guy that cant even make a phone call with his mind clear and free of fear.

I appreciate your response, you are very kindful
I enjoyed alot your post

Hi Tep!

Are you going to increase the Nardil? I think it might really help. You might become the Mexico Nardil champ!

Hi ed !
Yes, Im going to 90 if possible. I have never done this before. The higher I have been is 75;I suffered a horrible insomnia. I feel that insomnia is not gonna happen now, because Seroquel it´s excellent for inmsonia; the best med for sleeping I have taken.

I am worried about the availability of Nardil Here in Mexico , sometimes I have had to stop it because my shipmet does not arrive at the correct moment. Besides is very expensive. I would like to find a pharmacy that make sents to Mexico, maybe from Canada.

how are you doing phellow?
how does life treat you?

What dose are you taking?

>I am worried about the availability of Nardil Here in Mexico

Would it help if you bought a larger quantity all at once?

>how does life treat you?

I'm not so great at the moment. I had to stay in bed yesterday because I kept being sick :-(

The only bottle available here is of 100 tablets.
I dont think I could afford to buy many at the same time

I'd take 25mg if I were you, there's no point taking more than you need :-)

>Ed , why don´t you try a MAO??

My old doctor wouldn't prescribe. He'd never prescribed an MAOI in his entire career. I just went to a new doctor and the only thing he would prescribe is Effexor.

Yeah Ed , that is true, I am considering whether returning to 25 or increasing to 100 to see if I get any improvement in my SP


> My old doctor wouldn't prescribe. He'd never prescribed an MAOI in his entire career. I just went to a new doctor and the only thing he would prescribe is Effexor.

So you have never been on a MAOI??
Why dont you find a doctor who prescribe them??

Hi Tep!

>I am considering whether returning to 25 or increasing to 100 to see if I get any improvement in my SP.

IMHO, the increased Nardil is more likely to help your SP. This is why it would be good to return to 25mg. Combining a higher dose of Seroquel with a high dose of Nardil might make you feel dizzy.

>So you have never been on a MAOI??

Not a 'proper' one, just moclobemide (Manerix, Aurorix). It was like a placebo!

>Why dont you find a doctor who prescribe them??

I was just refered to a new pdoc, he said he would only prescribe Effexor. In the UK, you can't choose which pdoc you see unless you go to a private doctor- which is very expensive. Maybe I should find the money.

Greetings!
Ed.
