I am considering Nardil--but to be honest mostly because of all the hype I've seen for it (ace, etc.) I am bp1 and take Lamictal 400mg, zyprexa 7.5. I don't have any raging symptoms of depression although I am a little sad about my life & sometimes tearful. I also have a little obsessiveness. It's hard to describe but I have this feeling that I need to think and figure things out before I can do anything (like go for a walk, enjoy myself, etc.). Then I never let myself do anything because I haven't mentally figured things out yet. (Not sure if that makes sense). I am also somewhat self conscious around people and don't go out much. I do worry alot about people judging me but it borders a little on paranoia (not sure if it's an actual phobia--like with sweaty palms, overt anxiety). I've never considered whether it would be considered social phobia. Usually I'm dx'd as bp1 but was also once diagnosed as schizoaffective.
