Ok, well I've been on Nardil 70mg now for just over two weeks, three weeks on Thursday.
Initially I felt absolutely awful on it but 10mg of Zyprexa helped with that just for one night.
Now I'm feeling very calm, have quite a lot of motivation but I also feel relaxed, emotionless and very flat almost to the point of being dead.
I asked my boyfriend during a night of passion if he ever fantasised about Narcolopsy because I couldn't help but feel like a dead person whilst I was lying there :-)
Anyway, this is only an experiment, I only intend staying on Nardil for a short while before switching back to the Seroxat again in the hope that the after effects of the Nardil will somehow help the Seroxat to work better again.
I was just wondering if anyone else felt like this on Nardil and if it got any better?
I've been made redundant from my job at IBM (I'm absolutely sure the depression and switching drugs at work affected my performance) but what can you do at least I managed to hang on to my job through it all for the last four years. But now I've got to start interviewing for new jobs and I'm a bit apprehensive about the drug switches I've got ahead of me but hopefully Zyprexa will help me through that.
I know that without any drugs at all I'd feel incapable of doing anything or applying for anything. God how I wish there was a complete cure for this and then you could just come off medication completely and feel like you were doing it all on your own like I used to be five years ago.
