> Hi Ace I ramped up my Nardil dose to 90 too quickly. Light-headed, loss of balance, stumbling over things. Sleeping all day. But I've gone back to 60mg. Ken Willman says that once the MAO has been taken out of commission, it takes ages to build it back up again, so once achieving your effective dose you can pull it right back to even 15 mg/day. makes sense I think
> FredHey Fred!
Well, in retrospect, I did the same thing when i started Nardil, and my symptoms sound exactly the same! I loved the sleeping but....!!! The sedation was so great after having years of being so very anxious and on edge.
I do not agree with the 15mg/day or every second day 'philosophy' on nardil.
I have not experieneced this myself, nor seen any anecdotal or clinical data which supports this claim.
I know it is in all the monographys just about, but I disagree with it.
60mg is usually a good dose, but you may need 90mg.
Hard to tell.
Once you achieve the feelings u desire (i.e. happiness, less anxiety), please please saty on that dose, at least for some time.
Cheers again!
Ace
