In reply to Nardil relapse - please give me some hope, posted by UGottaHaveHOPE on October 10, 2007, at 20:07:53
> This summer, I tried Nardil at 45mg and had a window that I felt the best I had felt in years from anxiety/depression. One day in June I went out of town for two days and forgot to bring my meds. When I returned, I started taking 15mg of Nardil and felt the same. I know, I know, I made a mistake.
>
> Then in July and August, I moved and made several other big changes in my life. And I have not handled it well. I felt just as bad as Ive ever felt in the past 10 years. I returned to the 45mg dose of Nardil four weeks ago, and have not returned to how I was feeling before. I am scared.

> Do you think I can feel how felt before on Nardil? How long do you think it will take? I am hoping not the 8-10 weeks it took for the initial effect. Has anyone quit Nardil and then got back on it? If so, how long did it take for it to kick in for you?
>
> I am also taking 3mg Klonopin and 100mg of Seroquel. I am completely lost. I am so worked up right now with panic and anxiety I am wondering if any med will calm me down.I think your last paragraph has a lot to do with things.
i have learned over time that anxiety ITSELF can halt a drugs benifit,at some of my worst times,i was so scared of a drug NOT working or simply a new drug itself that i felt immune to any relief.
My personal advice would be stick to it,and use your klonopin as needed to get past that initial fear filled time frame your in now.
Once the med begins to help,you wont even notice how your defenses seem to have gone down,but i know your spot and it is a scary one,one i find myself in now and then,and i dread it.Luckly it never seems to last,i feel i actualy owe that to having my benzo i can trust on in its consistency,so guess there is something to say for benzo fears eh?
