Ace, how goes it, sorry I haven't gotten back to you in a while. For you're sake and to the degree that I relate my own condition to yours, I'm so glad you're feeling better on Nardil. I'm on day 15 of Nardil right now, at 60mg and I feel okay, just okay, I mean for the agonizing hell I went through, I hope it gets better, but I'm also on 10mg zyprexa, and 7 mg clonazepam, so I'd have to be on crack to be full of energy. On this combination I just feel tired, HOWEVER, I am noticing that my OCD is a little less. Where as before I had masacistic, (sp) tendancies, they are starting to subside. Before I could have never worked with another person, but now, in the interim job trial I'm in before hopefully going back to school, I'm able to work with others, which is a huge improvement. I suppose it's like anything, at any level of cognition one is going to have difficulties and pleasure, it's up to me to decide if the glass if half full - doesn't that sound noble, it's not how I feel, I'm not depressed, but I'm not on fire either, I definately wouldn't say I have anhedonia, I do take small enjoyment in things, I guess i need to give the nardil time, on the whole, perhaps I'm receiving some placebo effect although my situation has usually been too acute for that to go very far, so chin up, smile, and wait.I think of you as a very good friend.
> Man, I am just comparing my situation to a week ago- last week I could barely leave the house this week I can walk around without feeling I am on Mars (derealization), and the gutwrenching anxiety is cooling day by day!
