In reply to NARDIL with LAMICTAL or AMITRPTYLINE????, posted by ace on October 25, 2004, at 1:26:09
Hey Ace,
I have been on and off nardil for 7 years (have panic, anxiety, depression and family history of BP). I have tried *everything* to try to augment nardil ... saw Dr. Quitken even (he is the nardil God .... all the early studies were performed by him ... not Dr. Liebowitz). I really enjoyed being euphoric and carefree for that period of time I was on nardil ... but I was also a bit hyper and immature and lost some friendships.
A decent combo was taking nardil down from 60mg to 45mg (with resolution of sexual side effects, weight gain) and adding lamictal 200mg (also .5mg of klonopin and ambien). Work really well, but unfortunately my liver enzymes were elevated (and anticonvulsant and hydrozine can cause hepatitis). My best combo was lithium 450, nardil 45 and klonopin .5, and caffeine for energy .... lost weight, no insomnia, memory improved. I lost the euphoria, but was down to earth and making solid friendships.
The Other Nardil King,
