What is your diagnosis? I am big on Nardil, but this is mainly for treatment resistant atypical depression and social anxiety. A two week trial of a MAOI will probably not do anything for you. Generally it takes four to six weeks at 1mg/kg of Nardil to get a response. Actually a two week trial of any AD other than the stimulants is probably only going to give you side effects. Some people claim a faster response to some ADs, but I have not experienced it. Lately, I have had some good luck with high dosages of Omega-3s (See the Alternative Board).
Good Luck,
Jedi
