> I just started Nardil last thursday, June 8th. I am currently on 45 mg. Its to early for me to give you that much info on it, but I can update it as I go. I have noticed an increase in appetite which is a great thing for me cuz Im really skinny. Ive also noticed periods throughout the day of elevated mood and decreased anxiety/OCD, but nothing consistent yet. What exactly do you mean by "prosocial"
Thanks for your post. Please keep us updated with your Nardil experiences. I hope it works out for you.
"Prosocial" definitely wasn't a state I had ever experienced until I first started a Klonopin/Provigil combo on an "as needed" basis a few years back. All I can say is, WOW. Having suffered from social anxiety for as long as I can remember, I had never felt the desire to actually be proactive or assertive in a social setting, which is what I guess I mean by "prosocial:" to me, it's a feeling beyond just having decreased anxiety in this kind of setting, but rather also having the desire or urge to actually initiate a conversation and even enjoy it. For me, Klonopin decreased the anxiety substantially, while the Provigil added a subtle stimulant (or "anti-sedation") effect that seemed to tip the scales in favor of being more social. Without the Provigil I'm still much more comfortable socially, but the slight sedation (which has decreased with continued use) seems to keep me more at bay in my comfort zone. I am hoping the Nardil might have this kind of "prosocial" effect.
Thanks again for your input. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your Nardil success. Please keep us posted!
Take care,
Rocket
