This is just my opinion, and based on conversations with my pdoc, who has prescribed MAOIs as much as anyone in the USA.
1) 8 weeks is a good trial for Nardil, but 12 is the best. You've already made it through the toughest part, the initial side effects, so I urge you to consider going to distance. If you do go 12, and it doesn't work, then you can rule out Nardil forever. For me, it kicked in at week 10, and wow. My black-and-white world became color.
2) Geodon. Not sure about that, no knowledge of that combo, altho Im sure plenty of others on here do. If you do switch, consider Seroquel. It is also for mood disorders like Geodon, and really does something special for sleep.
3) Id stay at 45mg. My pdoc says it's not the dosage, but how long it takes to become effective in your body. No need for 60, at least not now.
Proud of you. Hang in there. Take it day by day. Just make your goal to make it through the next 10 minutes, the next hour, the day. Dont worry about tomorrow or next week.
