Hi Folks,
As you may notice, I'm new to this group. I've read quite a few articles (posts) on Nardil and have heard many similarities to my experiences and I have some that are different.I, like others, have experienced great benefits from Nardil. It reaped such benefits. I am able to think much more clearly, concentrate much better, my memory is better by over 200%, almost always think in positive manner, etc. It is so worthwhile I want to try to determine a couple things about it, but first I want to make a statement: I can't remember who talked on this matter, but one CANNOT over state the caution one should take in abiding by most of the medication and dietery restraints claimed to be imposed by this medication.
I have experienced 5 Hypertensive crisis, all of which produced extremely high blood pressure (~220/160) and was very-rushed to an emergency room. I experianced a headache beyond that of explanation, sweating profusely and came very close to having a stroke. There are many of the dietary restrictions that affect me very little, hence I try small amounts first then... But the combining of medications ARE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. Just about any cold medication will yield a trip to the emergency room of which you'll never forget. Please abide by ALL warnings on over-the-counter meds thus be sure to read the warnings on it's label, they'll contain mention of an MAOI if they are dangerous. Remember though, the meds aren't like the food whereby you can take a little and increase to a higher amount, one dose can do terrible things. I have impirical proof of this.
My questions are:
1.) Does anyone know of any research being done in the area of MAOI's? E.g., Taking higher doses than the 6 pill max recomended dose.
2.) Does anyone know of a solution to the "burnout" aspect of the efficacy? E.g. other meds that work on the same neuro-transmitters.
3.) Has anyone experienced a re-ignition of efficacy w/Nardil?Any and all comments are very welcome and invited!
