In reply to off Nardil for 5 days and still having bad...., posted by ross on May 19, 2002, at 17:07:14
I want to say that I sympathize and understand. I find the sexual side effects unbearable and I have been in Ross' place, at the point of choosing depression over sexual numbing. I have seen people on this board assert that you're not really depressed if you'd even consider that. I don't agree.
That said. I would argue for sticking with the Nardil for a bit. I believe it's easier to switch meds from a place of health. In my experience, some meds that might not pull you out of the depths will work for maintenance.
I don't know where you live, but maybe it's time to look into foreign drugs. Find a doc who is open to that. I did it with meclobomide. Unfortunately it wasn't a good AD for me. But there are other things out there. Why not stay on Nardil and do research?
