> You sound as though you had very positive effects while you were on Nardil...why did you stop?
I developed a bad and unusual body rash while on vacation. My pdoc ordered me to stop taking it.
When I tried to take it again, the rash returned. Rashes are a big freak-out for psychiatrists.
> What led to the subsequent BPII dx and what are you currently taking to control your symptoms? Just curious....
>Frustrated by lack of success, my pdoc referred me to a diagnostic specialist, a guy who mainly does research but sees one patient a day, for two + hours, for diagnosis only.
His opinion was that I was definitely BP II.
> Did you ever experience a hypertensive crisis while on Nardil?
>Not that I am certain of. I did get sick on several occasions prior to getting a home blood pressure cuff, once after unwittingly eating a dish with parmesan cheese.
I think I may have had some mild episodes of serotonin syndrome. If not, then plain old hypomania.
