> Hi,

> since you are the nardil champion maybe you could help me with a few questions. I am not responding to SSRI, TCA etc.Which SSRIs have you tried and what are your symptoms?
anymore so i'm considering MAOI, namely Nardil(or parnate).
I would choose Nardil over Parnate, specifically the OLD Nardil.
What are you taking it for?1. Depression
2. Severe OCD
3. Depersonalization Disorder
3. Severe Phobic Anxiety
3. Social Phobic Symptoms
4. Generalized Anxiety Disorder SymptomsWere you also non-respondant to other AD's?
Yes. Or just an average respondent.
I suffer from depression, which is keeping me in bed 24/7, panic disorder and social phobia.
That's terrible. It must be hard to do anything in that state.
But depression is the big issue, the others are controlled by klonopin.
That's good. However I have a hunch that Nardil will contol those probs too, and you will be able to lower or even stop the Klonopin. Nardil has worked wonders on my anxiety. Turned my constant frightened brain in to a calm relaxed river.
> What do you think?
Nardil for depression is outstanding. It usually actually causes a low-level euphoria- you are motivated, happy doing just about anything. You feel so confident on Nardil. The only thing that gets you down is the fact that the day isn't long enough!
Remember but
1. It takes time to work
2. It takes the right dose
3. There are some initial s/effects
4. I don't recommend mixing too many drugs with it- other drugs can work against it.Should i try something else first, like wellbutrin?
I don't think so. I believe your depression sounds severe enough to warrant Nardil therapy. I havent really seen a great number of reports about Wellbutrin, actually.
And how about the diet..
No issue with me. If you eat out a lot you might have to be somewhat careful...but I never had a prob...except once when I ate a burger from a corner shop.
Really, I don't notice it. I eat what I want except cheese. If you eat something wrong it doesn't mean you will definately have a hypertensive crises. You might only get a headache and start to sweat. But don't fool around- get to a doctors. But as I said, the diet is no issue for me.
