> Nick not knowing much about the Maois. But with your symptoms maybe wellbutrin. I say this as it would give you a lot more choices with other med choices to add if need be. And didn't you say bipolar? That with a mood stablizer could be a better choic. You are young? Phillipa
Thanks Phillipa,
Wellbutrin will probably be my next choice if the Nardil doesn't work out. I would be inclined to try augmenting the Nardil first because I've already been on it for months and don't want to go through a washout and then wait for another antidepressant to start working. Nardil has given me far better results than anything so far, they are just so darn inconsistent.
I have never had any bipolar symptoms unmedicated or hypomania on antidepressants, so I don't know how likely bipolar is. I just have ups and downs on Nardil and had extremely early onset of anxiety and dysthimia, which I have read can be an early warning sign of bipolar II. The anxiety came first and some of my earliest memories are stupid things that I blew way out of proportion and replayed in my mind for years. The dysthimia came later, I think around age 11 and has been slowly getting worse until now. Also I have had one severe major depressive episode at age 19. I am currently 22 years old.
Thanks for your input!
Nick
