In reply to Merry Xmas to you all from Ace Nardil Claus!!!!!!, posted by ace on December 23, 2007, at 9:20:16
> To my friend,
>
> Hoping you all have an awesome Christmas and peaceful and successful 2008!
>
> As you know I have been taking Nardil quite some time now, and have been quite vocal about it (!).
> Just have some thoughts....Nardil is working great but over-time I fave seen a necessity in the below to retain efficacy.....
> These may be helpul I hope.
>
> 1. Always take Nardil at regular times each day. As time has passed on, I have found the correlation between my good moods and this habit. At times I have been very slack- taking Nardil whenever! But i usually feel some depression creeping in when i do this.....
> I really think it is best to stick to a regular schedule, and if taking 60mg or higher I think dividing doses is best.
>
> 2. When Nardil kicks in, be very vigilant to SPENDING money! Nardil causes a health euphoric feeling in a lot of folk I feel, and we can just feeel so free....but be careful!
>
> 3. If Nardil is working, and working great, DON'T CHANGE DOSE or CHANGE medications. Ages ago, I was somewhat fixated on the one pill for EVERYTHING. Now- Nardil was working BRILLIANT- but I still had some OCD, and derealization syndrome. Nardil gave me a sense of confidence that was so powerful I thought I could find EVERYTHING in one pill. I stopped! Silly! then I cycled. When I went back on it, but the joy came back!
>
> 4. Patience. Nardil takes longer than any psychotropic to 'kick-in'. This is based on what I have seen again and again and again. Give it at least 9 weeks, at 90mg. 60mg often does the trick, but some people still need that extra 30mg.
>
> 5. I am quite an over-the-top person, but Nardil reall accentuated this! Sometimes I have been a little...hmmmmm... well, in one day I used to ask out like 20 gals on average! And at times use to do some things which people or myself indeed may construe as too over the top..... Certainly nothing illeagal or of that nature, but for instance at time, when feeling this 'high' I purposely did/do 'bump' into people so I can say Hello and smile at them....maybe this is OK?!?
> (i mostly did this with chicks!- but not always)
> dying my hair all colours, walking around with a shirt off- like I said- maybe this is cool but, dependending on your own personality. I think we are free to do what we all want as long as we are not stepping on others- or letting others step on us!
>
> 6. Side-Effects- this is a big one for a lot of folk. I went through a LOT of s/effects. I still suffer GI dysfunction. It took around 4 years to recoever my ability to orgasm (this was frustrating! Especially at certain times!!!)
>
> I suffered a plethora of initial s/effects.
>
> However- there IS medications we can use too offset these- sometimes maybe try a few, but don't give up!
>
> At one point I thought i had a choice- the ability to orgasm or to take Nardil. Well, I decided on Nardil! Eventually full function came back, and for those years I did use some other meds with success.
>
> Please be patient.....
>
>
> Anyhow, it's the day before Xmas here in Australia and i am up very late!! Better go!
>
>
> God Bless you all! Never give in!!!!

Couple of questions, Ace:That fact that your sexual performance came back is actually quite amazing, even if it was four years. How well did it come back, on a scale of 1 to 10?
What about weight gain? I assume you have experienced a good dollop of that, as almost everyone seems to on that med. If you had it, did the appetite ever come under control and did you ever lose any of the weight?
I noticed that you take both Xanax and Seroquel, which seems like a good dose of sedation. Why did you add these, to counter effects of the Nardil, or for other reasons?
Congratulations on your success with the med and I wish you continued happiness.
