Hi,
I have been on 90 mg of Nardil for 1 1/2 years. It helped with the severe depression but left me incredibly tired - falling asleep during the day, very little energy, but still having some bursts of motivation and only intermittent apathy. I decided to go down to 60 mg a couple of months ago to try combat the stupor (and weight gain, snoring etc.). This worked nicely for about a month. But then increasing amounts of apathy crept in. I started to feel very flat and blue most days.After trying multiple stims (Provigil, Ritalin (sr&ir), amphetamine salts, caffeine), none of which worked) I tried ability, starting at just 2.5mg and so far (1 week - early days), so good:
- increased energy
- much improved mood, outlook, sense of Wellbeing
- less depressed. My OCD is less painful and less pervasive.
- better cognition. The fog of Nardil is partially parting. My observable behaviour and IQ are significantly improved.Perhaps others on the love-Nardil-but-am-so-tire...zzzz train might want to check it out (and discuss with their PDoc, which I am not...)
