Hi. WHoooops! I meant I started nardil Oct 10 2007, just like in my name.. my thread will make more sense now.. I said 2000, just a typing error. Good to meet you UgottaHaveHope, I have sure read a lot of messages by you on here, pretty cool to hear back from you, Im sure I'll be able to speak to other big contributers aswell pretty soon as I join in more.
John, The only way to find your minimum dose is to slowly titrate up and wait 1-3 weeks to see if the nardil starts kicking in ( eg. 1-3 weeks at 30mgs, 1-3 weeks at 45mgs, 1-4 weeks at 60mgs and so on up until you get the antidepressant/antianxiety effect to kick in. If you can tolerate the side effects, I would suggest titrating up to 60 mgs/day as fast as your body can tolerate it, then stay there for at least 4 weeks before going any higher. I bet that 45mg's/day is the lowest dose a person may feel positive benefits on the new nardil, but it could be less for a select few lucky people (I hear and have read that the old nardil could have great benefits at just 30mgs/day and 45mg/day).
-People usually take 1mg of Nardil per Kilogram of bodyweight. So Devide your weight in pounds by 2.2 and what ever that equals is your target dose to shoot for. I'm 170lbs so I devide that by 2.2 and I get approximately 77 so I take 75mg's of nardil/day. 30mgs in the morning and 30 in the afternoon and 15 during the evening. I hope that helps John, Its seems that is the way to do it after reading a 100 hours of info and posts and listening to my psychiatrist.
-Nardil could kick in at anytime between 2 and 8 weeks. It Kicked in for me abit at 3.5 weeks, then alot more at 5 weeks (today is 5 weeks for me! and I feel almost all my social phobia is gone and a good antidepressant effect without hypomania like I could get on ssri's)I will write my full story of how I got here soon!, but I gotta run because I've been at school all day. talk to you guys soon
