IT will be nice if someone here experienced insomnia on Nardil?
I taked Nardil 3 months in the begining of 2007, 90mg/day, but I never feel the NE or DA effects on it because I was on a high dose of Rivotril (Clonazepam)at that time , 8mg/day...I had to stop the nardil because of the hypotension problem and syncope...
Now I restart it 2 weeks ago. I'm now at only 30 mg/day and I feel a lot the NE and DA effect of it, and for someone who is anxious and do social phobia, that's not good at all.
One thing change for the 2007 try and the 2008 try, it's the fact that I take only 20mg/day of Valium (Diazepam), so nothing to slow down my anxiety level. That's my explanation about why I can feel the exciting side effects of Nardil now and not before...
Now i'm back in the Nardil boat but with more experiences and tools...I have an antidote(pills) just in case I do an hypersensitive crisis and I have also another pill that I Take everyday for the hypotension prevention, I ask it before my hypotension problem kick back in...since I already feel a little bit of hypotension, even if i'm only at 30 mg/day...
So that's my question, for peoples who take Nardil and had insomnia at first, what did you do?
I go see my doctor this week and he give to me the new Seroquel XR (quetiapine in extended release), 50mg that I have to take at 7pm at night...and he change also my valium (Diazepam) 20mg/day to Ativan (Lorazepam) 8mg/day...
I take this new combo with my nardil since 2 days, and of course I sleep more...I had before 2-3 hours in a row max of sleep by night...if I count the little nap in the afternoon...Now, I can sleep 7 hours in a row...BUT I feel really weird the day after...My head spin, normally I want to eat everything I see, now I have nausea just seing food...(good thing since I want to loose some weight)...But well...I hate that feeling...zombie feeling like I call it...
Someone know what is the best hour to take my Seroquel xr (50mg) pill a night, to avoid next morning 'hungover' feeling ??? I try to found the half-life of the new Seroquel XR and how many times he take before acheiving his more big peak in the blood...but I can't find the answer...
It's look like for now, yes I sleep more at night, but I continu to feel tired in the day, I have to drink coffee every 1 hour to stay awake...in my the fog in my head desepear only after the dinner...That's weird...
Anyway, any help will be appreciate!
Thanks!
Vincent
