That's good to know, rose45.
I took a break from Nardil the past 3 days. Today I started on it again, but I took 30mg instead of 45. Again, I'm getting the following symptoms: dilated eyes, eyes can't open completely, feeling hazy, sick feeling, some shaking, bit of headache here and there, cold hands, sickly feeling in face, face drained of color, and ringing in ears at one point. And now, typing feels weird as well. The side effects are relatively mild compared to what happened on Monday, though.
When I was initially on 30mg, I hadn't felt these symptoms because I had been taking it everyday, but today I'm feeling them, probably because I skipped 3 days.
I'm not working or in school right now, so I can wait out the horrible side effects. I'd definitely need to take some days off if I were working or in school!
If I had Monday's severe symptoms on any other med, I would've stopped it immediately. But Nardil is known to be such an amazing med that I'm giving it another chance. I'm kind of scared to go through all these side effects, but I hope they'll go away soon.
To avoid Monday's extreme side effects, I'm going to try taking Nardil in divided doses, spaced throughout the day. Also, if I feel that I have too much Nardil in my system, I'm going to skip or lower the dose for a day or two, and then go up to the regular dose again. I talked to my doctor, and she advised that.
