In reply to Euphoria or Mania?, posted by Jack Smith on January 21, 2003, at 19:29:36
> Don't take this the wrong way, I really want to believe what you are saying but is there any chance you are experiencing the side effect of euphoria or perhaps are manic. I certainly hope you are not, I just wonder because you sound almost too good on this drug.
Jack -- I can totally understand your reaction. No offense taken. I do believe very, very seldom I have experienced euphoria on Nardil. But my happiness comes from being free of the incessant pain of my past problems. To be able to walk outside my house with no fright, to be able to be free of past OCD pain (which I could never see abated), to be focused and motivated and very happy -- all this adds up to a GREAT peace and happiness. And, of course, Nardil is a great antideppresant which natural causes happiness and motivation -- I have experienced this happiness. All of us on Nardil know the reaction. It's sublime.
Keep in mind I express my self strongly, whether it be annoyance or anger or happiness. I am a little eccentric! But don't let this detract from my Nardil posts. I have NEVER - i repeat NEVER - been as happy as I am on this drug. I have used alcohol in the past a lot -- it also made me very happy (I am a happy drunk!) and blunted my anxiety. BUT NOWHERE NEAR AS MUCH AS NARDIL!
I am not Bipolar. Never have I been manic or euphoric in the past. My happiness is completely rational. My past reactions to other drugs have never been like this.
I truly wish others could experience this peace.
