Thanks Tomatheus for such an informative post.
Your story mirrors mine in many ways, except mine revolves more around social phobia. Depression is there though, often lingering in the background ('especially' lately).Yes I am on Nardil, currently 75mg/day. Have been for 2 years apart from temp 6 week Marplan trial. Nardil is the one I intend on staying with indefinitely, or for as long as poss. I also take Provigil (modafinil) 500mg/day. It completely takes away any tiredness and similar side effects from Nardil and has a mild mood lifting effect of its own, but without any other effects good or bad, so is an ideal addon.
Back to the supplements, I currently take Idebenone 300mg/day. Take note, as this has DEFINITELY enhanced the Nardil. From what I can tell, it seems to have a good serotonin effect. When I first started at 150mg/day it was very strong and I had definite excess serotonin symptoms, but they faded quite quickly. It's now settled and seems to make the Nardil 'brighter', smoother even.
As for the Pregnenolone, it arrived today so I've taken my first dose of 50mg. And yes, I feel something already! It feels activating and brightens my mood too! Great timing, as I needed something like this to help me get through the Christmas period. I've dropped the Idebenone to 150mg/day too, just in case.
There is a slight headache, probably from an interaction with Nardil. But nothing serious.I'll keep posting my progress.
