> Hey everyone, ace, how are you? I'm on about my third or fourth week of Nardil at 60 mg, it's definately struck a blow to my anxiety, but I'm also on zyprexa, 10mg and 7mg clonazepam, and I'm usually tired, but worse yet, I'm fairly depressed, sometimes for hourss on end. I don't know if this could be due to the dopamine blocking effects of zyprexa, any thoughts - thanks.
Well you're on three sedating drugs at once, so this isn't at all surprising. i would personally think of doing one of two things, or both: decrease the zyprexa to 5 or 2.5 mg or just discontinue it, and/or, decrease your Klonopin dose. This depends on how long you've been on 7mg Klonopin and if you really think you need that high a dose. But 7mg seems pretty high (unless u have epilepsy or something), so i would also definitely think about lowering that-- especially since you're going to be getting added GABAergic-type effects from the Nardil (in addition to that from the Klonopin-- yes its a benzo. agonist but benzos stimulate GABA release i'm pretty sure).
Good luck.
