In reply to Nardil - foggy brain, posted by DontNoMuch on March 12, 2008, at 10:52:32
I had (/have?) this problem when i was 45mg or higher of Nardil (i have been on Nardil 4 years, but i have been trying to suffer through staying on 22.5 & 30mg for awhile now, for many various reasons). Of course, I think i always had this problem [even before Nardil], but i think Nardil almost definitely made/makes it worse.
Anyway, i've noticed that splitting the doses (unfortunately) is much better than taking more than one pill at a time. I think 3x/day is ideal for being frequent enough but not so many times that it's hard to keep track, but this is difficult with 60mg per day cuz you can't evenly split four pills up 3 times a day. I am currently dealing with a similar situation right now as i am on 30mg/day. (I am probably going to try to get a compounding pharmacy to convert the pills into 10mg doses for my next prescription-- i've talked with a couple that said they could do this.) You could either take one pill 4x/day, or 1 pill twice and 2 pills once in the day. Yeah, when i was on 60mg i used to take 2 pills twice a day (once upon waking and once before bed). It was much easier to take, but yeah i remember being COMPLETELY out-of-it exhausted oftentimes, especially in the afternoon.
Oh, i just through the thread again-- yeah i guess Brooke already touched on this.
Sorry i wanted to reply to this weeks ago but never finished. How are things going presently?> I am on Nardil, 15 days total, just started 60mg per day, yesterday. Spacey, foggy, thinking is like twice as hard, sort of a stupor. Still feeling sad.
