In reply to Nardil - pooped out at 90mg, augmentation? thyroid, posted by zonked on April 20, 2009, at 13:57:56
Hi,
How long have you been tapering up the Nardil? And how long have you been at 90mg? The initial kick when Nardil starts working can cause a mild case of hypomania. Many people misinterpret this as the true antidepressant effect of Nardil. Sadly, or probably luckily, this short lived hypomania is just a side effect of the medication. If the medication seemed to work when it kicked in, I would give it some more time. Nardil can be a true wonder drug for many people that have tried all others.
Be Well,
Jedi
