I feel kinda foolish posting this.
In my last post on the subject I said the Marplan I was taking had started to work. Well my mood had lifted and my anxiety had dropped (sort of).
But now I've taken drastic steps. I've flushed them down the toilette and decided to go back on the Nardil (I've kept 2 pills, just in case). Why? Gut instinct, mainly. Things just didn't quite seem right. My mood has kinda dropped back a little, I still have trouble with my OCD/germ phobia (bit of both I think),I'm irritable and I'm still overly self conciouse around people too, as-well as being totally avoidant. I haven't left the house for 2 days and don't plan on doing so any time soon. Also I just cant get to sleep at night. Last night I took 50mg diphenhydramine which got me to sleep easily, but I slept for 17 hours and awoke today feeling awfull.
But more than anything I think I'm comparing Marplan to Nardil. When Nardil first kicked in it bannished my depression, SP and OCD simultaneously. So far Marplan has only helped my mood, a bit.
So of course I haven't given Marplan much of a chance but it would be harder for me to carry on than to quit early.
I see my pdoc on tuesday so I can get back on (beg for) the Nardil again.
Anyone else get this 'gut' feeling early on with meds?
