Larry,
I wasn't clear as to whether you were saying that niacinamide could be taken with an MAOI or not. I think you were inferring that it could be but I wanted to make absolutely sure in this case.
The niacinamide is still working really well for me. After the first couple of days where it would wear off in a few hours, now it seems to linger for quite a while. I found the dose that keeps me calm enough and yet allows me some cognitive functioning. It's between 1/3 - 1/4 of a 500 mg. capsule and I take it twice a day. It gives me continuous coverage without any rebound anxiety. It's really a huge help for the time being. The anxiety is at least 90% under control now and I can function at the temporary jobs.
Speaking of cognitive functioning, do you notice the anticholinergic effects of the trimipramine negatively impacting your cognitive functioning? I used to feel that the low dose doxepin, and to a lesser extent maprotiline, that I took for sleep, did make it harder to concentrate. I wonder why you decided on trimipramine rather than doxepin or maprotiline to help you sleep since I think that both of them are supposed to be less anticholinergic?
