In reply to Re: Has anyone discontinued Nardil, posted by Suzanne on January 24, 2003, at 18:59:06
I think I can help you guys with your qustions about surgery,etc. (I am learning to use a computer STILL! and just found my message) I am a nurse anesthetist, and I just had surgery on 12/12/03. I went to same group I used to work for and the older doc said I needed to be off nardil, but the newer generation won't make you as long as he knows your history,etc. How long can these replies be?? I have only been on nardil since Aug. after looking since '95 and trying 23 other AD and going for ECT in Jan. My doc hadn't used MSO's and was quite leary about starting me on it, but since my serotonin system is obvioulsy screwed up I knew a dopamine class of drug would work and I can't believe it! I have never felt better in my life and I WILL NEVER go off. The other drugs I am taking are: oxycontin 80mg 3 tabs, 3Xday, norco 10mg 6-8 prn, ritalin SR 40mg 3Xday and I have an internal pain pump with dilaudid 12mg/24hr.!!! Yes, quite a tolerance, but it does control my chronic pain for which I am grateful. I have not had any side effects from anything I have taken, so I am quite lucky. It is truly amazing for the depression to be getting better and I wish other patients would have the same results I have. If anyone has any questions, I will try to help and all this info is from my personal experience and not meant to be a "doctor thing!" I am so glad I found this web site cuz I have questions for you guys later. Thanks, Joanne.
