Hi, I do have some memory and word finding difficulties with Nardil, but I augment with clonazepam. I tend to blame the benzo for that more than the MAOI.I've been on Nardil for most of the past 12 years. I do not think that my mental capabilities are as fine tuned as they were before my first major depression hit.
However, I'm also fairly sure that I would not be here writing this today without the help of Nardil. MAOIs are for serious depression. They do have side effects, but they can also help you live a somewhat normal life.
I have treatment resistant atypical double(dysthymia)depression with social anxiety. I have been on over 45 different combinations of antidepressants and augmenters. The stimulants are about the only thing I have not tried. Nardil with clonazepam is the only combination that has worked for me. I would like to add a small dose of modafinil or methylphenidate, but I have to find the right PDOC to do this. My current GP won't touch the stimulants with MAOIs.
Be well,
Jedi
