> Hi,
> Hope your PDOC has been researching Nardil. Since you can't count on that, it is your job to do the research. I know how hard it is when you are very depressed, but learn as much as you can. I find the abstracts in PubMed the most accurate without pure BS like some of the other internet articles.

After you get to the effective dosage, it will somtimes take six weeks or more to start working. A lot of people will give up before they get three months into a med trial, especially if their depression is severe.

what would you recommend as far as increasing my dosage? How quickly should I move up?
