Try to be orderly in your trial of Nardil.
Stay at each dosage for 3 weeks before evaluating the results and moving upwards.
Set it and forget it. Make your adjustments in treatment and then forget about it. Continue with life as best you can. Try not to look at your depression under a microscope. Changes occur over the course of weeks and months, not hours or days.
If this drug works, stay with it forever.
The early mitigation of your anxiety is a good sign.
Do you have any more mental energy to read and write and think?
Remember, the ascent from depression is not a smooth straight line. It can be somewhat jagged or variable. You will have a sequence of days that feels like a setback, only to be followed by further advancement. The rate of improvement also tends to be slower depending on chronicity and severity.
You are afraid of tolerance and relapse?
Me too.
I'll probably be looking over my shoulder for rest of my life.
Your fears are logical.
To help insure that your remission remains intact, you might want to consider supportive psychotherapy and exercise.
