In reply to MAO's, Nardil should be used B4 other Rx's, posted by stargazer2 on June 1, 2007, at 7:31:05
SG, Or let me rephrase that: Everyone that I have talked to that takes Nardil has had and continues to have episodes of "bad gas", but it is such a minor, minor thing compared to the other side effects (at least to me) that I dont even bother mentioning it.
SG, you have probably forgotten more than I will ever know about meds, but I dont think you should be too concerned right now about daytime sedation or insomnia or afternoon naps, etc. The only thing that matters (at least in my opinion) is making it to the 8-10 week point, where you can truly get an accurate assessment on how Nardil will work for you. Then you can start making adjustments, and yes, taking it in combined doses or at different times of the day is the way to combat daytime sedation and insomnia.
Im sure that is what I will be working on when I meet with my pdoc next week (time and dosage of my 45mg/day). Unfortunately, I havent done that much to help my sedation/insomnia bec 1) dont take pills same time each day and 2) have bad sleep routine.
BUT, I am in complete AMAZEMENT with how much better I feel. Nardil is a miracle for me, but it's not perfect. It has some brutal side effects in startup, most that will lessen or completely go away in time. But it's worth the tradeoff for me, anything to NOT feel ravaged by anxiety 24/7.
