In reply to two nardil questions, posted by Mike_H on July 16, 2011, at 10:43:10
I'm with Scott on this one. I have never responded to a dosage less than 60mg. For efficacy I have to be between 60mg and 90mg. 60mg usually works for me now. But I will raise to 75mg during bad, anxious or trying times. I commend you to be able to keep exercising at your level with major depression. When mine hit, I just hit a wall on exercise until the depression was under control. You probably will have to treat insomnia when you hit an efficacious dose of Nardil. Almost everyone does. Keep up the exercise. It will obviously help with the weight gain side effects of Nardil.
Be Well,
Jedi
PS Once you hit that efficacious dosage, it usually takes several weeks or longer for the Nardil to kick in. Oh, if you are not in major, treatment resistant depression, or social anxiety(running marathons?); you are probably on the wrong medication. Nardil is the bomb, when the others fail. Just an observation, knowing none of your history.
> I've been taking Nardil since 6/11, and I've been on 45 mg since 7/4. I'm only noticing a subtle difference. I know I need to increase, but I'm a little scared ..

> 1) It seems like everyone experiences insomnia at 60 mg. Has anyone not experienced this?
>
> 2) How long do you think I should wait until increasing to 45 mg? I'm not experiencing really any major side effects, except for a complete loss of libido and slightly restless sleep. I'm running a marathon on 7/31 so ideally I'd like to wait until like 8/2 or so to increase in case insomnia does hit.
