> I'll offer the possiblity that the dosage at which REM returns is the dosage that Nardil begins to lose its therapeutic effect. Perhaps the antidepressant power of Nardil is associated with the extent it suppresses REM. In other words, if you find yourself relapsing at 60mg, don't be terribly surprised. Of course, I hope for you a different scenario. I guess we'll have to see.This makes sense, although I don't have a sense of this correlation in my experience. I haven't paid that much attention to it, though. I usually don't stay at 67.5 very long. 60 mg seems solid to me unless I am under a lot of stress. 45 was good for awhile, but when I try to go back down to that level, depression seems to always reappear. I'll have to pay attention to whether REM gets suppressed again.
And hopefully, the Lamictal will pick up what might drop with Nardil. That's the goal, anyway--lowering Nardil.
Thanks!
