that's true. as soon as i have a decent night's sleep the aggression disappears. maybe my strategy of using benzos every second night should be reassessed as well, since i'm probably experiencing constant rebound insomnia, which may be aggravating the nardil insomnia. it's unfortunate. most SSRI's i would use just to 'get them out of the way' on my path to Nardil. but now, for the first time, i am genuinely conflicted about staying on a drug. i too still experience a lot of anticipatory anxiety (about *everything*, since i have GAD + OCD) but the nardil allows me to function better in the moment. hmm. are you on anything now? have you tried Parnate?
