In reply to Lamictal and Nardil?, posted by gardenergirl on May 23, 2005, at 20:57:01
> Hi everyone,
> I am on 67.5 mg Nardil. I have sleep problems in that I wake up often during the night. I just started taking Ambien to help this. My pdoc also wonders if this due to remaining depression. She just added Lamictal, starting at 25 mg, with an initial goal of 75 mg. Anyone else take or have tried this combo?

I'm starting out on 15 mgs of nardil and have been on it for 3 weeks. I also think its time for me to raise my dose of lamictal. i've been on 200 for a while and i've heard of many cases where it will work effectively @ a certain dose then it stops and the dose has to be increased. i really hope its that and not the nardil, since im just getting started on it. one thing i can tell you about lamictal is the higher the dose the worse my short term memory gets. ill set something down and a second later I;ve already forgotten that i set it down, or that i even set something down until i need it. it's frustrating. but, i've tried many meds before this, and this really is one of the best, i just think i am going to be one of those people who has to be on a really high dose. i always am with medicine. how is nardil working for you? is it as good as its made out to be? how long have been on 67.5, and how long on that dose did it take to be fully effective? and, how effective is it for you? mj
