> Nardil didn't do much for my ADD symptoms--when I was still working, I was consuming 2-3 energy drinks a day to stay focused...especially on things I found routine or uninteresting. But it certainly made them no worse, either.
Hmm, my lifestyle + work routine (when it existed) are/were constructed around stuff I find interesting, which is why that aspect of meds isn't particularly bothersome; problems arise, however, when I'm feeling anhedonic because I can't even tap into my natural reward system.
My concern is more with fogginess. I gave up on Nardil the first time after 3 months because between the short-term memory loss and sleep deprivation, I could barely think straight.
My present psych is recommending I give it another shot at a lower dose (~60mg or so).
