1st 3 weeks i crept from 15-45mg. At end of week 3 I went to 60mg and bang- like a light came on.
Ur explination of being like a natural XTC feeling is spot on. Avoidance became a constant search for friends without fear. Lots of things happened for the 1st time (I was 24)- 1st GF, sex, job, place of my own. I could leave a job and get another by the end of the week, not by pushing myself but by pure optimism. Family became loved ones again. I owe alot to Nardil for what it introduced me to- more than a glimpse of what life at the full is really like. Happiness probably for the 1st time ever.
After 3-4yrs i came off it. Decided it had pooped out for good despite lots of addons. But even when I stopped it I realised it was still helping as things have never quite been the same since the 1st week i stopped. Its still a future plan, and maybe a very close plan. Things are totally potty with my current meds. Going from BINGO to "whats happened?". Will probably allways need an MAOI. For my brain seems to know how to process the effects of them correctly. Unlike most other ADs. Mind you ive never tried Parnate so that will probably be next MAOI I use. Unfortunitely switching MAOIs is a big switch an usually means comming off one before starting the next, witch can be lengthy and very destroying for the nerves. Such is life.med
