Hi! Thanks for replies. Sorry its took a while for me to reply.
Its good to know soneone has tried the Nardil/Zispin combo without any real problems. I was slightly worried about serotonin syndrome. Perhaps this only happens with SSRIs and similar meds when taken with Nardil. Anyway, I'll be starting the combo later today.
As for the question of what my symptoms are. I have very bad Social Phobia as part of what I believe is Avoidant Personality Disorder, although I haven't had the latter diagnosis. This has always been accompanied with a lingering moderate, and occasionaly severe Depression, symptoms of which include: extreme lethargy, over sleeping (12+ hrs a night), apathy, stimulant cravings (I have been a drug addict), inward thoughts and occasional suicidal thoughts. I also have various other mixed anxieties and compulsions/obsessions which come and go. This might be anything from over shopping and running up credit, to obsessive cleanliness and worrying about germs.
As mentioned in my previous post, the Nardil has wiped out around 70% of my S.P. symptoms. This has made me a new man! Before I was virtually paralised by it. I simply existed. Now I have friends, go to college, visit the pub, cinema, etc. The problem is the "flatness" I still get from the Depression wont let me enjoy much of what I now do. Lets just hope something comes from the new med.
I'll keep you updated on how I get on.
