> Hi,
> cheers man. Not an aussie, I'm from the UK. My pdoc reckons that I've been on nardil long enough and by know the side effects that I've got are here to stay.I have to disagree with that. Rarely do some stay always. Mostly they all go...with time...some times lots!
We both agreed that I've probably got the most out of it and I shouldn't raise the dose.I'd beg to differ. I really would. 90mg is the killer dose. For some people NEED this dose due to indivual metabolic reasons.
But it's your decision of course.
He evan talked about dropping to 45mg. I convinced him that I'd like to keep on 60mg for the moment with the slight posability that the side effects would drop in the next 4 weeks or so.
Good idea.
> He wanted to stick me on 2.5 zyprexa but I spoke to him about the amisulpride, and I'm adding this instead at 100mg/day. I'll see how this effects me. Hopefully one day I can increase the Nardil though.
Yeah, I think you WILL be able ti increase it with time. But Amsisulpride is great. Man, you have to let me know how you go- we are on the same combo!!!!
> Cheers for your responce, its good to here from another budding psychiatrist who's in a similar position to me.Really?! You want to be a psychiatrist? Excellent! Technicall, I want to be a psychopharacologist. I am entering med school as a post graduate- i have some physics and chemistry units left then I go in. Also, I have studied a lot of philosophy units- they love that at the moment...they used to have brainiac doctors with no social skills!
I hope your amisulpride kicks in soon. I thought it was known to start working really rapidly.
Thanks dude. I've heard of it taking 4 weeks. I think it's started working now, but will show full effects after a week.
Would you not try and increase it to 100mg?
Possibly...I'll give it 4 weeks on 50mg. I am also on 90mg Nardil, but if I was on lower Nardil dose, yeah, I'd probably go straight for 100mg Ami.
Peace to you, keep in contact!Ace.
