Just give it time, thatguy.
You've only been taking nardil for 8 weeks and have been all over the map lately, with going from 75mg to 105 mg and then back down to 75. First of all it's going to take your body some time to readjust to the dosage, and to recover from the hypotension and other side-effects.
Just going through all that is demoralizing, especially since it's hard to be in a good mood when you're feeling like you can barely stand up and worrying that your pdoc has screwed up, and also that you might have to stop a drug that helped. Give your moods time to reestablish themselves.
Also, remember, these aren't miracle drugs. You can still have a bad day, or days, even on Nardil. So it's expectable that when you are stable again, you'll regain whatever long-lasting benefits you originally would have had. A slight glitch of this sort won't take away the effects of a drug that works for you. If you can remember this, while you're going through the dislocations, you;re much more likely to feel better sooner.
I hope your pdoc is able also to reassure you and to give you better information about what dose is best for you,, and how to counteract the hypotension, should you have a milder version.
Good luck.
