In reply to Trying Nardil?, posted by mark57 on March 14, 2004, at 8:43:14
> Hi, I've been taking Wellbutrin SR now for about 3 weeks. There's been no improvement with my depression. The only things I've noticed is more memory loss and being a lot more irritable/short tempered. I don't know if these side effects would eventually go away but I don't really want to wait and see. I'm thinking of trying Nardil now. I was on Parnate several months ago but didn't get much help, although my doc wouldn't let me increase the dosage over 60mg/day which I think might have helped. I've also been on a lot of the SSRIs without much help.

> Anyway now I'm wondering about trying Nardil. I have SAD as well as depression and have read that Nardil can be a great drug for this. My biggest concern is that Nardil will make me to drowsy. I understand that this can be one of its side effects. I already have a lot of trouble with that. I couldn't tolerate Xanax or Klonopin because I was falling asleep all the time. And I know you're not supposed to take stimulants with the MAOIs.
> Has anyone had positive experience taking Nardil when they also had fatigue/sleeping to much problems to start with.

>Hi Mark,
When you say SAD do you mean Seasonal Affective Disorder or Social Anxiety Disorder?
Would you describe your depression as atypical or melancholic?
Do you have any response from Parnate?
How were the side effects?Sorry to answer a question with ten questions. :)
Cheers,
Panda.
