Hi Everyone!
I’ve been lurking here a lot and I’d like to post more but my anxiety is so bad that even posting can be troublesome. My life is pretty much a shambles. Even though I take .5mg of Klonopin T.I.D. I still can barely make it out of my home as I’m so anxious around people. It is very uncomfortable and disabling. I’ve taken almost everything there is except the MAOIs. I did take Emsam for two weeks at 6mg along with Klonopin this summer. It was the closest I’ve felt to feeling “real” but while it made feel much better sometimes, other times it had me feeling more depressed. So now I think that I should either try that again (Emsam) and stick with it for a couple months at least or try something like Nardil and stick with that for a while.
The problem with Nardil is that I’m built like a Football (North American) Linebacker at 6’ 5” and 295 lbs and I’ve read that one needs to take 1mg per kg of body weight for Nardil to work… so would that mean I would have to take 135mg to see effectiveness?!?!? Is that mg/Kg thing accurate for everyone? I’ve wanted to try Nardil for a while now but I’m so scared that I’d wake up after a week and weigh 500 pounds and that it wouldn’t work anyway.
I’d love to get input from anyone on this situation. My primary problems are social anxiety and atypical depression. The big issue is the anxiety, that’s what is killing me.
Also, Merry Christmas to all Babblers out there!
