I'm not Ross, but i was hoping maybe you could help me. I have severe atypical depression and I am also on Nardil, with Wellbutrin. Have been on 45 for 5 weeks, just upped it to 60 mg., slight improvement in mood, but i feel very spacey, uncontrollable sleepiness during the day, insomnia at night, which i treat with trazadone. Still anhedonia and complete lack of motivation. i slept until 3 today, beautiful, sunny day. Have already tried Parnate, googd, but it pooped out. How long should i give the Nardil before giving up on it, and did the ritalin help with the daytime sleepiness? I also have bad, bad hypotension from it. Oh, I'm taking 300 mg. Wellbutrin with the Nardil, and i don't know if that is helping me or hurting me. Should i give up and just try Marplan?
Thanks,
Shrimp
