Hi,
I'm off ALL meds and I think can start Nardil on 1/30 after a two week wash out period of Remeron.
Which byw was causing pretty bad GI distress. The doc denied this but now that I've stopped it the GI distress did too. But there's no mention of this side effect anywhere that I saw and my doc denied it was the remeron....
So now, I'm myself off of ALL psych meds, which is interesting to see the baseline. It's
encouraging in a way bc/ I'm NOT a complete basket case, just feel no real pleasure in anything.....
I'm still functioning, taking care of my kids, making dinner, but I feel no real joy or motivation. I can pretend it and I do because I know what SHOULD make me smile and laugh. I lived this way for 27 years and am amazed at how functional I was. I was in graduate school before I took my first prozac pill.I think coming off of these medications is where the meltdowns happen.
I'm nervous about starting Nardil and I guess am looking for encouragement. I tried so many things that just didn't work well. Worried about dietary restrictions...will it work...how long...etc. Should I just forget about AD's and try natural since I am pretty functional?
