Hi.
Thanks for the feedback.
> Had same problem with libido when I was taking Zoloft. Viagra took care of that.
That's interesting. I keep hearing conflicting reports between people who say that Viagra increases their sex drive and those who claim that it does not. If my libido does not return when my depression resolves, I'll definitely keep it in mind.
> I have been off my cocktail of Prozac, Remeron, Lamictal and Lithium a couple of months now.
That's a pretty smart combination. Your idea?
> I have been on Nardil up to 45mg for 3 weeks started at 15mg. I have to say that it has definitely lifted my unipolar depression and will probably have to increase dosage when I see my new pdoc on May 12.
I think 60mg is the sweet-spot for most people. I hope it does the trick for you.
> Are you still taking Lamictal?
Yes. Although it is minimally effective when I combine it with a TCA, it's better than nothing.
> Lamictal seemed to have been effective initially then just seemed to fade just as quickly.
That seems to be the rule rather than the exception. It was with me.
> That is when I decided to try Nardil. Nardil maybe the magic bullet yet!! Like Ace says, "Nardil Rules!"
It is a hell of a good drug. I wish you luck with it.
Yes, there is such a thing as a magic pill.
