I'm on 105mgs Nardil, 225mgs Lamictal, and 60 mgs Aderall- had a great initial response (as always happens when I go back on the Nardil). Right now nothing whatsoever (not 30% or 40%- it's doing nothing). While I'm still entertaining augmenting options, "augmenting" implies enhancing an existing, though not complete, response. While my remission last week was very real and powerful, the Nardil is essentially a sugar pill at this point and I've quickly returned to my familiar, severe depression.
I was wondering if anyone with a similar Nardil experience found success with other treatmnet options...TCA's, SSRI's, SNRI's, etc. (This could indicate what might be a good option for my next trial). Marplan worked for a couple months before fading out, the Parnate did nothing but give me insomnia (I was only at 90 mgs). I have considered, as wild as it sounds, taking the Nardil to unheard of doses (+135mgs, closely monitoring blood pressure and other side effects- nothing to lose at this point). I'd appreciate any thoughts or experiences.
