> > I started Nardil a little over 2 weeks ago , and it has had a much better effect than any of the SSRI's have had recently for social phobia. IIt's a little strange though: some symptoms have improved dramatically, but others have worsenened. eg- my lips no longer tremble when i talk to people and im smiling, im more social and outgoing, etc. on the other hand, i find myself having to take more "deep breath's", which is really the only physical symptom that has persisted. im also a lot more laid back in terms of my personality than i was on the SSRIs, which tended to make me even more loud and outgoing. also, no dietary problems EXCEPT for Kraft macaroni and cheese. I've eaten pizza, lasagna, drank caffeine, drank plenty of beer (though cautiously), no headaches or any side effects at all for that matter, although now my body does require less sleep. if anyone has any similar response experiences, please post a message. and one question: will the nardil continue to increasingly releive symptoms, and for how long before it reaches its "plateau" (as ive said its only been a little over 2 weeks). what would be a good augmentation strategy, if any? also, i should add, no weight gain (yet) as far as i can tell.

> You do not say how many mg are you taking. I am on Nardil for about 15 years and from my experience I can say that all the secondary effects will dissapear with time including the dietary. One bad side is that your weight will increase very sooner.I'm on 60 mg. What do you have to say about the increase in some forms of anxiety while a decrease in other forms?
