Hi Scott. Actually, I thought more about what my pdoc had said, vs. what I had done--and he may very well have suggested 3-4 hours.
I didn't do that before, but I may take it off earlier in the evening this time around. At the time, I was more concerned about keeping the dosage up, because it was the first AD that had worked-- at all-- This time, despite a bit of uncertainty, I'm not so focussed on getting to 9 mg/24hr.
It's still very possible the Nardil could work well for you. It might take longer than you expect, because its interactions with the other drugs may make it come on more gradually-- or may give a more subtle, but still quite significant impact.
I have my fingers crossed-- for both of us. My heart symptoms (unrelated to the Emsam, but not compatible with it) haven't reemerged-- after three full days, so maybe, in a while, at least, I'll be in a better place. I hope you will, too.
