> > Hi...I am still noting a "bit" of improvement from Nardil, depression wise; anxiety is completely gone...but I'm getting impatient with this slow titration. I'm suuposed to wait til next tuesday before I up the dose to bid, ie, 30mg/day. I am having absolutely no problems with it or with the Nortryptiline. BP and HR are perfectly fine. I am really tempted to increase the dose today, ie to take another 15mg tab tonight. I am positive there would be no advrese effects, and I'd really like to feel better for the weekend. I know I'm considering being a rebel, but part of me thinks this titration is too slow, though I know my pdoc made it this way b/c he is a bit worried about adding a TCA to an MAOI. The first time I was put on Nardil my dose was increased by 15mg every day with no adverse effects whatsoever.
> > I know I'm being impatient, but I guess I wondered what you all thought. I have a feeling you'll all tell me to be a good girl and wait til Tuesday, but it's so damn hard to do that. I've been depressed so long I want to feel better much sooner than later. Any advice appreciated.
