In reply to Re: Adding Ritalin to Nardil. What are the guidlines?, posted by Marginal on June 3, 2003, at 5:25:40
I've been on the combo for about a month and a half. I now am up to 90mg Nardil and 25mg
Ritalin.Absolutely no problems. BP is normal or below normal. We were very carefull at first. I had to sit in my Pdoc's waiting room after taking the first Ritalin. He would come out and check my BP between patients. Then he wanted me to wait a week and try 2-3 more 5mg tablets of Ritalin.
I didn't show up at his office, instead I increased it on my own, carefully checking BP several times a day. I would wait another week to make another 5mg. increase and check my BP with my own pressure machine. Now I don't even bother to check it!
What a magnificent cocktail!! I HIGHLY recommend anyone augmenting Nardil this way!!
Guidelines: Make sure you are on a stable dose of Nardil. Give it at least 4 weeks to build up a constant blood level. Now add Ritalin! Just remember to go up only 5mg. of Ritalin every few days or a week. And check BP often. Especially about an hour after administering Ritalin. Use a reliable BP machine! Anyone who would like to speak to my pdoc can contact me at pongobongo2003@yahoo.com I will gladly give you his name and ph.# and answer any other questions you may have about Ritalin/Nardil combo.
Good health to to you all! Lawrence S.
