Hi Jack,
In the meantime I feel I have too much to gain to give up on Nardil just yet. After 10 or more years on a rollercoaster of short term improvement on other antidepressants, then having them fizzle out I am willing to persevere with Nardil. I have been at work continuously since commencing Nardil at the begining of November. This is a great achievement for me as prior to this I had at least 2-3 days off (sometimes more) every month for the last 3 or more years.
It is now 2 weeks since I began taking the 37.5mg, and I am tempted to take this until the end of February to observe my reaction rather than making a premature change. At that point I shall commence my alternate days regime if required. Although still unsure whether to have nil Nardil in between or stick with the 37.5mg one day and 45mg the next. I'll have to give this more thought and see how I aam feeling at end of February before making this decision.
This drug is helping to make my life more positive and productive than it has been for a long time. I'm currently taking the attitude that it is like having a friend who has behaviours which occaisionally frustrate me, but who is a valuable friend with more to offer than mild, occaisional frustration. We all bug our friend on the odd occaision over the years, but that doesn't mean we abandon eachother.
I'm going to give Nardil an opportunity to prove that it deserves to be a constant in my life. More harm than good and it is out!
This has been a lengthy answer but I hope it answers your question.
Eilidh.
