In reply to I need something to augment Nardil, posted by tepiaca on March 9, 2006, at 16:10:39
Hi TEP,
I find myself, at this time, in a similar position as you. I have been “On” and Off” Nardil, mostly on for the past ten years of my life. Every attempt to wean off the medication has lead eventually to another bout of major atypical depression. Three+ major life events. Man the depression was nasty. I’m currently off Nardil with the help of some essential fatty acids EPA-2400mg daily and DHA-2000mg daily (See alternative board). I also take 1mg of clonazepam daily for social and generalized anxiety. I have just added 150mg of Wellbutrin XL to the mix, even though this me can have a negative effect on the anxiety. So far I have fought off the really serious depression. I’ll probably send a letter to my MD about upping the dose to 300mg of the XL in a couple of weeks. This med seems to mildly deal with some of the energy problems I have had. Bupropion is mostly a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor with also some effect on dopamine.
I would love to stay off Nardil, but I have 2 months worth stored in a dry, airless container. Just in case. I figure it might take me that long to get another prescription to the stuff. Right now I am crossing my fingers and hanging in there. You are not alone.
Good luck,
