> Hi,
> I am a first time poster. Ace and Chad both have been very supportive and informative about Nardil. I finally found a psych. dr. to prescribe Nardil to me because of such postive stories such as yours about Nardil's effectiveness in combating SP.
>
> My history is that I suffer from extreme SP since I've been 14. Along with SP, I am currently suffering from depression because I am at my wits end of trying medications that I cannot tolerate. I cannot function in the outside world. Thank God, I have Klonipin to get me through the day.
>
> I have tried all the ssri's and they all increased my anxiety and I had to stop. I couldn't even last a few days on some of them. My old psych. dr. would not give me Nardil because he said that if I could not tolerate the ssri's I would not be able to tolerate Nardil. So I swtiched doctors.
>
> Long story short, I just have a few questions:
>
> 1) Will Nardil increase my anxiety initially?
>
> 2) I am starting at 15 mg. What did you start at and how did you ramp up?
>
> 3) I am currently taking Klonipin .5mg 3x a day and lorazepam prn, codeine prn for pain and neurontin 200mgs 3x a day. Can I still stay on these medications?
>
> 4) What is the typical onset of Nardil?
>
> 5) Can I get a link to the current dietary restrictions?
>
> Sorry for the long post, but my current psych. dr. is completley unfamiliar with Nardil. He hasn't prescribed it in over 10 years. That's why I need you guys for support.
>
> Thank you for being there for me and I look forward to hearing from anyone with info. for me.
>
> Peace,
>
> Shanti
