In reply to Nardil and the f-its..., posted by streetsk8er794 on October 14, 2008, at 22:04:44
I had a reaction with Nardil and it was with 10 mg of an amphetamine. I had the generic of Adderall and was convinced that it could help my ADD too, since Nardil alone wasn't doing enough.
BTW, I'm still struggling with the combination of depression and ADD. I started with 5 mg and went to 7.5 and had no reaction. At 10 mg, just the one time dose, my BP shot through the roof. So it can happen and at least I could handle it myself, since I have a medical background. I was able to monitor my BP and saw it was over 200, soit was the real deal.
Sometimes there's too many cooks on this board but with the combo Nardil/amphet, you have to be very conservative. I can take 5 mg alone with Nardil but I just saw another doc to ask about Nardil with other stimulants, including Strattera or Provigil and she wouldn't go there at all. And I'm too afraid to quit Nardil completely since it is allowing me to have a life again.
So, Your doc may not have experience with the combination and may not see any problem with increasing the dose of dex to 10, but you may get into the danger zone too. Make sure your doc has done this with others and is not inexperienced with the dreaded combination of Nardil and a stim.
Good luck.
