Jasmine,
I too just went up to 60mg. I'm so glad you are finding relief. I was doing well at 45, but under extra stress (school-related) felt like it wasn't enough. We'll see how 60mg goes, with the SE's and all. So far on day 2 at 60 I've only had a bit of jitteriness (caffeine certainly didn't help that!) and some mild orthostatic hypotension.However, I, too have urinary retention at times. It is listed as a side effect of Nardil. For me, I just have to bear down and sometimes blow like I am giving birth (again, sorry for being graphic) and it usually gets stuff going eventually, although I have to continue to bear down to keep it flowing. It is so frustrating! I am hoping at 60mg that it doesn't get worse. Urinary retention is not something to mess with long term. I'm sure my GP, who prescribed the Nardil, will not be pleased if I tell him about this. He does get a "kick" out of my hyperreflexia, though, pardon the pun.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Take care,
gg
