> Hi Andrew How are you it's temoigneur/Ben here. I'm on about my seventh week of Nardil - unfortunately up until now it doesn't seem to have been the magic pill for me, although it has helped with my OCD. I was wondering about augmenting Nardil with other agents, you sent me a list once of things to try, unless the list is sitting at home in a pile of paper I don't have it right now, I was wondering if you had access to that info still, you had a wide range of suggestions, agents ranging from pindolol to bromocriptine. Right now I feel restless and anxious, unless I take a high dose of clonazepam, which makes me dopey. Any suggestions thanks so much, I'll look for the list and let you know if I find it.

> BenHi Ben!,
Where have you been dude?! I put out a post for you but you must not have seen it. Have you got a private email, as you don't post here much. I can email you there. I think about you sometimes.OK, your situation: Is it possible to lower the clonazepam?- have you tried? This might be working against Nardil.
Also, 8 weeks is a good time, but still not enough. For lots of people the effects of Nardil keep rising until the 12th week, so be patient.
That list I have at home, I'm going to do another now of the top of my head, all should be safe with Nardil. I realize you take Zyprexa too.
1. Nardil + Risperidone
2. Nardil + Gabapentin
3. Nardil + low dose Desipramine (BUT would have to stop Nardil add other than start Nardil again)
4. Nardil + Clonidine
5. Nardil + Pindolol
6. Nardil + Bromocriptine
7. Nardil + Haldol (low dose)
8. Nardil + Dexadrine
9. Nardil + Reboxetine (might pose interaction problem, might not)
10 Nardil + Adderal
11. Nardil + Topamax
12. Nardil + Mirapex (this seems quit a good combo)
13. Nardil + Mellaril (very low dose)
14. Nardil + Seligiline (be careful)
OK, I'm sure I forgot some, and these are not exactly in order, but I will work it out for you.Dude, what do you do for hobbies? I notice you read some Nietzsche and stuff like that. Honestly man, and I only say this cause I care, I would stay away from 'deep thinking'- at least until you are better. Stay away from the dark profound mysterious stuff. Go to movies, watch comedy, chase girls, but don't worry about the deeper things yet. Stay clear of all negativites.
Man, read Anthony Robbins, Gerald Jampolsky: stuff like that. As someone whos studied a lot of psychology at uni I can tell you that motivation books help you more than any clinical psych book. Actually you told me you saw a motivational speaker once: who was it ?
Gotta go Ben, but I'm praying for you. Give me your email if you want.
Take Care and stay strong,
Andrew (Ace)
