I think maybe I did go up too quickly on the dose. In fact, I think maybe that's been my problem with other meds (SSRI's) before. Paxil used to work for me well before but last time I tried it in January I went straight to 30mg because that was my previous dose. I probably should have slowly went from 10-30mg. After 8 weeks on it I felt much worse than before I started. Then I tried Effexor and went up fairly quickly on that dose and also felt worse. Even though some of the dosing instructions show a rather rapid increase, maybe some people need to very slowly increase. I'm just too impatient! I might still switch to Nardil. My appointment's today. Does anybody know how much of washout is needed to switch from one maoi to another? I've read some posts of people being on both at the same time (not recommended) so since I'm on a low dose I'm hoping I can switch after just a couple days, if I do switch.
