Hi Shanner,
Thanks for the ideas. I have used doxepin in the past, but not combined with Nardil.I had a rare spontaneous hypertensive episode while on Parnate. This was the reason I gave up on that trial. Parnate at 80mg seemed to be holding off the major depression.
Nardil does affect GABA and that can make a big difference if you have anxiety issues. Nardil combined with clonazepam is the only combination that has worked long term for me. Parnate did not work on my social and generalized anxiety as well as Nardil.
I have titrated the Nardil to 90mg in just over a week. That would be too fast for most people. But I know which side effects affect me and I am willing to accept them to get to my effective dosage faster.
Be Well,
Jedi
> You might want to consider doxepin instead of nortriptyline. According to the following site a small amount would be safe to help with sleep. The patient ratings are quite a bit higher for doxepin than nortriptyline. I've been on Parnate for over 2 months with limited success and I was wondering why you switched back to Nardil and what the differences are for you? I'm trying to increase the dose now again after unsuccessfully upping the dose, then dropping back down in the first month. Did the Parnate help with anxiety?
