So the more days I'm off Nardil (@ 0 mg) the more I'm starting to think that my side effects of urinary retention, major cold intolerance, constipation @ 60 mg were all caused by too much norepinephrine.
At 45 mg which is my awesome dose (70% efficacy on symptoms) I only have constipation.
My plan was to restart, only to 45 mg and then add nortryptiline. But now that I'm figuring out it was most likely NE which is to blame for my side effects I'm not sure I should use it when I'm at 45 mg. Wouldn't that just elevate my NE level and make me feel like I'm on 60 mg of Nardil? Or is that totally a bunk thought?
I need something with the Nardil since it's not enough. The only things I can think of are..
- Lyrica
- Neurontin
- Nortryptiline
- Amitryptiline
- Wellbutrin
- AbilifyI'm not a huge fan of Lyrica because I think it's going to completely impair my memory while I'm on it.
Should I just stick with Nortryptiline and try it anyways since it's my best shot?
Lets stick to ideas for augmenting Nardil. No monotherapy recommendations please as I would like to try and get Nardil plus another to bring me into remission since I'm close to it when I'm on 45 mg.
TY.
