> I'm on 60mg. of Nardil and my Pdoc wants to add Ritalin for daytime sedation and ADD syptoms. Anyone know what is the safest way to do this?
Hey,
Wow, this very tricky. But I have seen the "Nardil" God ... Dr. Fredrick Quitken from Columbia on consult once. I was/am having sexual dysfuntion, insomnia, weight gain and memory difficulties on nardil ... I saw him for some advice.
He said I could add a small dose of dexadrine to the nardil to help the memory, sexual, weight problems. He told me to get the 5mgs tablets and start with a quarter tablet each day. If I tolerated that okay, he said I could taper up to the full table ONLY IF NEEDED.
I was floored by this recommendation .... a stimulant with an MAOI. But he is the Nardil Guru.
