I spent at least 8 hours going over all the postings. There goes my OCD again.
I have around 12 files full of anecdotes and monographs on psych meds- there is my OCD manifesting!!!! Or probably OCPD!
Anyways, your story is exactly like mine, I can't believe it! I would NEVER leave the house w/o my benzo's. If any anxiety situation would arise, something as simple as going to class I would have to pop a benzo to relieve the anxiety.

I have decided to start Nardil on tues. A few more questions if you don't mind:
>
> 1) Can you smoke cigarettes on Nardil?Yes. No probs. I smoke 10 a day. But when i first started Nardil my interest in smoking went down, then it neutralised. Then when I went to 90mg I got some head spins- nothing to severe. Then when the brilliant antidepressant effect kicked in, I smoked heaps!! It was because I was always so happy!!! I smoke more when happy. But I must emphasis I am still very happy on Nardil - I just CONTROL my urges to smoke to keep it down to 10 a day.
>
> 2) What category is Nardil? I am planning on having a baby and found little research in this area.Category? It is a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor. I can do some research on the pregnancy bit- would u like me too? Also, would you like me to explain how it works? I will explain it in easy terms so you understand. I'm assuming you don't at the moment. I could be wrong!
> 3) Do you know the half-life of Nardil?Very short. 2-3 hours. But THE HALF LIFE OF NARDIL DOES NOT CORRELATE WITH THE DURATION OF IT'S THERAPEUTIC ACTION. Enzyme inhibition continues longer than the half life.

> That's all for now. Wish me the best! Your stories and others have given me the courage to try Nardil.
