Hi Marsha.
> Scott, I meant to ask you (but I got so wrapped up in my own troubles, I forgot), if you were posting at midnight, does that mean the Nardil is causing you to have insomnia?No. However, this is the result of multiple exposures to Nardil and my idiosyncratic brain function.
> I hope not. I mean I know every drug has a side effect (or 20) but insomnia is one of the cruel ones.
I used Ativan to help with sleep whenever Nardil did produce insomnia. There is also trazodone, but you would feel yucky (hangover). Low dosages of Seroquel is another remedy that has shown efficacy. Seroquel has also been shown to produce antidepressant effects with some people, particularly those having bipolar depression.
> Here's hoping you were just still up because you were feeling good and not wanting to go to bed yet.
Yes, indeed.
:-)
Unfortunately, I seem to be in the midst of a plateau and a mild "recession". I prefer to use that word, because it fosters the interpretation of such an increase in depression to be a natural part of the response pattern. It avoids the word "relapse" wherein there is a complete loss of therapeutic effect.
> Love MarshaYou are a sweetie.
Let me know how you have tried to remedy the Nardil-induced insomnia.
