In reply to Need urgent advice PLS. Almost at my baseline dep., posted by AdamCanada2 on January 1, 2009, at 21:39:43
I took nardil for about 20yrs and it stopped working more than 5yrs ago. I have tried everything and could find nothing to replace it. I am also extremely sensitive to meds. All kinds any kind. Plus I had to be on the lowest dose.
If it hadn't been for this board I would have quit Parnate after 2 days like always.
My start up symtoms were the same as yours. I lost interest in everything!!! Didnt want the phone to ring or hear a knock at the door.
I didn't feel quite as depressed but this feeling is not much better. Now what?
After about a month and a dosage of 40mg. I am not dead inside anymore. I had such migraines that I would lose my vision (but I have MS and going blind is normal for me)
For me the evenings were the worst. I would sit here scared to death. That has passed also as I increased the dose which I would never do before.
Try to accept the way you feel and take it slow. Thats the only way I am getting through this start up crap. nardil takes just as long or longer and had worse side effects than Parnate for me. Sex life was a big laugh.
Acceptance can help in many waysSissy35
