I've been on 45 mg for years, but the Nardil is different now, Phizer got ahold of it and made the original recipe into a really cr*%%y generic. Bioavailability is a problem, especially from lot to lot. Some of it's fine, and some of it's garbage. There's a big patient political action organization on the FDA's back about this, but if you have a bad lot you may need a huge amount. This can be dicey, but worth knowing about.
Or you can compromise and go 60?
Mood stabilizers help for a lot of people; I know I've been on Tegretol then Trileptal for years and that takes up a lot of the slack, too. It's a thought.You know what may be up Fred? People just bawl at the gym, or at rehab, and it's because they hold emotional pain stored up in their bodies. You may have a huge amount of emotional stuff you need to just bawl over and get it out; Maybe you just couldn't before. It took my Pdocs ten years to get me to cry, and it was awful when they finally made me. But it was a therapuetic thing. Depression is horrendously painful. And certain kinds of tears clean bad chemicals out of your brain, emotional byproduct stuff. If you can't cry it gives you awful head aches.
Maybe you should just howl like a chic with hormones until it ends. Maybe you need to cry. Just do it.
Therapy is recommended when starting MAOIs because they're such an experience. Maybe you don't need to pay somebody- the crying is it. Or you should tell somebody (liscensed) what comes up and makes you cry. Your call, but I think you just need to bawl.Lizzy
