Owsley, Thanks for your input,the swelling seems a bit better the last 2 days and has shifted to the external ankles and not so much internal.
Obviously, its better in the morning after they have been elevated at night, so mornings, they are the least swollen. I also tried to take the majority of the dose later in the day to see the effect and that may have helped.I just paniced as initial swelling was quite prominent and came after no swelling or unmanageable sideeffects for about 3 weeks. I thought, here we go again. It's always something with living with depression.
Also, my mood initially seemed less depressed and now after a few weeks, the effect has lessened and the effect is harder to discern. I hope it is still working or I'll be very disappointed as the initial response seemed clearly effective. Perhaps another dose increase will be forthcomin. I'm currently on 45 mg and now sleeping better than a few weeks ago.
Mood is harder to guage and daily mood variations are normal anyway so you can't judge anything by a day or two. At least that is what I think.
I just hope the Nardil continues towork for me else I'm at a real loss as to what to do next. Its been exhaustng to continue this fightfor so many years. Life shouldn't be this difficult all the time...Stargazer
