I'm sorry the antidepressant effect is wearing off so soon for you. I've been on Nardil for most of eleven years and it always fights off the Major depression. In fact I'm in the process of slowly lowering my dosage to try to eliminate some of the long term side effects.Here are some suggestions, some will require a psychopharmocologist or a very good psychiatist. Some of these I've tried, others I haven't. Some of these suggestions are contraindicated:
1. Raise the dosage to 90mg
2. Add a TCA, such as notriptyline
3. Add lithium
4. Add modofinal
5. Add methelphenidate
6. Add clonazepam alprazolam, or bromazepam for SP
7. Add bupropion
8. Add Lamictal
9. Thyroid medications
10. ECT
There are many others, Nardil is a good medication.
