I know I should probably raise my dose, but I have to wait for 2 more weeks until I see my doctor again before that happens or else I'll run out of my supply of Nardil and that's not good.

At first I was sleeping like a baby on it, but then 2 days ago I began waking up about 3 hours into my sleep and couldn't fall asleep again for another few hours. It's kind of annoying. I had a few other side effects in the beginning that have now gone away. Does anyone think this one will go away too?? I sure hope so because I LOVE to sleep!!! It's my favorite past time. :)

That's great to hear cosis! I'm so glad it's working for you. And it's nice to hear that it helped with social anxiety. I read so much about how it helps depression, but I haven't heard many stories about it helping SA. That makes me feel a lot better. Thank you.Jasmine @>-->--
