In reply to Nardil working, posted by Sailboat77 on October 30, 2010, at 16:46:59
> I've been on Nardil for about 2 weeks now and I think it's actually working... but it's kind of hard to tell because I've never been on a medicine that has ever really done anything for me. My dose has been gradually increased and I'm now at 60mg and eventually going to 90mg by the end of next week.

> My question I guess is how long it takes to start getting the full benefits of Nardil. I know the response rate is variable, but is there any general idea of what I should expect going forward? My depression has been resistant to all other antidepressants so this is a bit of a change for me to notice any changes in mood.Its said the pre nardil change,nardil was once the gold standerd of succesful meds.Still even after the change and complaints,its still valued pretty high with success.
One thing about the two maois,parnate and nardil is alone they have a quick limit,,,most people will tell u as i feel that maois usualy have two be augmented.
So please dont stress when u feel the med begin to reach a plato,like parnate parnate has many augment options,here are some after some time of use u can look forward too,
Anxiety meds,Klonopin,or most common benzos,
Most gaba agents such as gabpentin,lamictal etc,
Most mood stablizers,anti psych like abilify etc.
To add anti depressant effect,u can usualy addModfamil a light stimulant,
Carefully carefully add a dopamine rich med like a adhd med such as aderalll,this is done with cautuion.Point is ur on a good med,nardil has the disadvantage to parnate as slower in onset,and less of a PUNCH
However it has the advantage of gaba increase,meaning a additonal plus of calm and social enhancment.
More stablity.
So enjoy the success,and enjoy the fact that ahead of you lies many options to ehance this med,the only problem is cause its a maoi u might have to achieve those without ur doc,but thats always a personal decision,either way bless.
