> Nardil 90 mg/day is the maximum according to the prescribing information. However, there are reports of some patients who respond well to 120 mg/day. You mentioned irritability and anxiety as side effects. Are you experiencing any other side effects? How is your sleep? Do you feel dizzy or light-headed when you go from sitting to standing?

Thanks so much for your response. I do have some unpleasant side effects, namely diarrhea, muscle/joint pain in my knees and legs, insomnia, and jaw clenching. The diarrhea has gotten alot better over time, but the knee and leg pain has actually gotten worse. I have never had the lightheadedness or dizzyness related to the drug. I'm still willing to ride it out if it helps. The irritability and insomnia are things I have had for a long time before I started the nardil. I think they are signs of depression that is coming back. Each of the last few days have gotten a little bit worse. I don't know if I need to increase the dose or start something new. If I begin an SSRI, I will have to wait 2 weeks to start something else. I really crashed hard the last time I had nothing in my system. I have tried most classes of drugs over the last ten years. I have to get this under control before I can be released to go back to work. Thanks for your help.
