In reply to Nardil + Clonidine- comments?, posted by ace on February 11, 2004, at 19:26:44
Yeah, i dunno man. If the sexual side effects of Nardil bother you anywhere near as much as they do with me, you wouldn't wanna mess with anything that was gonna/ could make that any worse. Plus it might make some of the anticholinergic side effects even worse as well (esp. peripherally i think). And i say screw that also.
Thirdly, clonidine is quite capable of causing/ worsening depression, esply. if taken chronically or at high enough doses. Personally i'd really suggest going with something else. Some of Chairman MAO's suggestions seem worthwhile. i'd really like to try Requip or another DA agonist with Nardil (at modest/safe doses of course), as i'm hoping it could help with the cognitive problems, the anorgasmia (especially!), and the slowness/ occasional drowsiness/ slight lack of motivation from Nardil (though let it be known i definitely have more motivation ON Nardil than when off and depressed out of my mind!). i want a DA agonist dangit. Anyway, sorry. Yeah maybe try one of his suggestions, or.. are you still on Zyprexa? Did that help? Maybe you should increase to 5mg or 7.5mg Zyprexa?? Not sure. Good luck man.
