In reply to NARDIL: onset of action - please answer!, posted by ace on January 6, 2003, at 21:52:41
I started Nardil at 4 pills (60 mg) a day and had a dramatic response on day 5. I had much more energy and started functioning again. I stayed at that dose only for about a week and a half because I developed severe insomnia. But that went away after the dose was reduced. I went down to 45 mg day and stayed on that dose.
The affects of Nardil definitely came "as a zap." In fact, I can remember the very moment it kicked in, and this was 20 years ago. Although it began working quickly, it was kind of chaotic
for a while: some days it seemed to work better than others, etc. It felt to me that it took a few months to "smooth out." Nevertheless, once the drug had kicked in on day 5, I was totally free of severe depression.
