I think this is an accurate statement.
> It can induce hypomania, as can Parnate, although not like the SSRIs. I'm bipolar and the Parnate has not made me MORE hypomanic. But I am trying to find a mood stabiliser that works for me.

> But let's ask Ace directly.OK!
> So Ace .... are you bipolar and do you think Nardil has induced hypomania in you?
No, I'm not bipolar nor do I think Nardil has induced hypomania as defined by psychiatric nosology - for instance on Nardil when I moved house a while back (I always get depressed moving house) I felt a little flat, but not depressed like I would have sans Nardil. Also, if I felt I did poorly in an exam I would feel flat but Nardil would protect me from spiraling into a depression. But usually, and I mean the vast majority, it really motivates me, makes me happy to be alive, puts my heart into life and makes the hard times much much less hard.
> MaxThanks for asking Max - have you considered Zyprexa for your 2nd drug?
All the best,
Ace.
