I'm a new Nardil User, and if you have read any of my posts you know that I'm doing very well on it. The main side effect I'm having right now is a very paradoxical effect of daytime drowsiness with insomnia at night. Usually I can sleep 3-5 hours with the help of Klonopin before I wake up. Sometimes I take a little more Klonopin to get back to sleep. Don't know how my doctor will feel about using the Klono that way, but I figure you have to do with what gets you by. Last Thursday, when I worked a 4 to midnight shift I took two naps before going to work (I got something like 4-5hours of sleep) then had a dose or two of Nardil during that day.
So far the best method I have found to counter the drowsiness during the day is to take one pill several hours apart. If I take two or more at a time, I get extremely tired. I have been experimenting with dose time and amount trying to find the best combo. Tonight I took two pills at bed time and fell asleep fine, although after four hours I'm up again. Has anyone ever taken 60mg of Nardil at a time? Maybe if I just do this at bed time, I can forget about the daytime problems. Any experencies welcomed.
