Current medicatins - Klonopin (daily), Nardil
Condition - EXTREME social anxiety, which has spawned EXTREME depression. also derealization (im assuming also spawned from excessive social anxiety and/or numerous traumatic pot experiences)
Hello to everyone out there. This happens to be my first visit to this site so I'm uncertain whether or not this appertains to the jist of this board. Oh well, I apologize in advance. Anyway, my shrink began me on Nardil just recently. I began at 15 milligrams the first week, rising to 30 the following week. No adverse effects were experienced throughout the first week. Around day 10, I felt noticeably better. Or so I thought. The good feeling lasted about 5 hours, whereupon ending abruptly. It was very discouraging - I literally felt as If I had the winning lottery ticket in my hand and then lost it. I must add that this analogy is anything but exaggerated given that these issues have haunted me since the age of 13. Anyway, for the past three days (days 10 through 13 of initial dose), my mood fluctuates drastically. I'll feel perfectly happy, optimistic of future opportunities, you know, just swell - nearly euphoric. Then snap, within seconds I’ll return back to a self-loathing depression. Then perhaps 20 or 30 minutes later I return to contentment. I'm not sure if this is normal or not but I am dying to know because this is driving me crazy. If anyone else has experience taking Nardil I beg for your advice and experience. I’m also feeling extremely apathetic. When I am feeling the postive nardil effects I’m happy...yet disinterested in everything. Isn’t that ironic? God!!! I just want this to work . I hope this sh*t passes... Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this excessively long post and I wish everyone well.
-Charles
