In reply to nardil - what does it do for social anxiety?, posted by jonh kimble on October 16, 2004, at 21:08:23
> What effect will I get from Nardil should it work? I am terrified during conversations that I am not saying enough or ill get awkward which ends up happening alot, what people think of me, Im boring, I really ruminate on what I said or did and am constantly evaluating my performance and social status. I refure to get involved in realtionships becuse of potential rejection etc... Also is it like a benzo in that it will work basically work no matter what given a high enough dose? Has anyone tried it and it didnt work at all? Thanks
Based on the observation that my sleep seemed to improve when I first started on Nardil at 3 x 15 mg/day, I believe there is a GABA effect even at this dosage. The improvement in sleep went away after several days, perhaps analogous as to how one might build up tolerance to a benzo sleep med. My general anxiety levels are not high enough for me to have noticed a big effect from the Nardil, but it did definitely make me more sociable at dosages of 75 mg/day and higher. I don't know if you saw my reply to your post up above, but I believe it would generally be considered unwise to start at a high dose right away. This is an effective drug, but it does have a lot of side effects, and I think it's better to work your way up in dosage.Todd
