Also - some people feel a little "too good" when Nardil first begins to kick in. Just in case you do experience this hypomanic state, I hope you are not too disappointed when you settle into normothymia (euthymia). Some people spend years trying to chase and replicate this hypomanic state with Nardil. This is not good.

It's so good to hear from you! And thanks so much for your well wishes; they are much appreciated.You were right to warn me...I do think that for a few days there I was experiencing hypomania. It disappeared suddenly today as if a switch had been flipped. Now I'm back to the euthymia which you predicted. I must admit, I am missing the hypomania big time...damn, but it was fun while it lasted! :D For the life of me, I have never understood why hypomania is always listed as an 'adverse' event. It's an incredibly wonderful state! But, I will be glad and appreciative of the state of euthymia that I have attained. Way better than a week ago, when I was constantly crying and telling my husband that if the Nardil didn't work it was either gonna be suicide or heroin addiction.
How are you feeling these days? Much better, I truly hope.
Kat
