In reply to Re: NARDIL AUGMENTATORS + TIPS, PEER IDEAS PLEASE!, posted by jnew12 on November 4, 2008, at 13:41:49
First off I thought we went over this before. I made a big mistake by reading (here) from another poster who mixed adderal xr with there nardil. Because I was new, and stupid at the time and despretaly wanted to try something to give me energy since I have fibromygaliga which give you fatigue, I might also suffer from chronic fatigue disorder since the two are quite similar. Once you all told me of the dangers, in the post I admited my wrongdoings and quit the Adderal right there on the spot and made post about.
Then someone accused me of not informing all my doctor about my medications. Which one of them did not know all that I was taking.
I went ahead and called or saw my doctor (my pains specialist, my pdoc, my regular doc, my gastroenterologist, and EVEN MY THERPAIST!) and told them ALL of my disorders, and told them each medication I was on, how much, when I take it, and why.
Then I made a post thanking the members pointing out my errors of judgement, and helping me get on the right track, I think I can find the post if you want I believe I also appologized about my mistake of ingesting adderal without fully investegating it's effect on MAOIs.
But, now yeah I may take a lot of medication, but I have problems that warrant them and was taking everything before I started nardil!!
I was not even saying I wanted to try all the medication I listed I was just suggesting augmentation for those who might be even newer than me or interested in my personal experiences, especially with buprenorphine, and lyrica because I know that people talk about it on this board, I also post this post to learn about augmentation just to learn from people that know more than me about it, it's not like I wanted to jump on ever medication know to mankind.
Like I said my problem warrant my medication. And I do have many problems.
I have been taking buprenorphine, for fibromyalgia, and generalized pain, I will aslo admit that I was addicted to pain killer at once, but was controling my use of morphine before my doctor switched me to buprenorphine because he said that they use it in Europe all the time for pain, it will help my depression, and that I will not build tolerance.
My painspecialist gave me the OK to take buprenorphine with Nardil, he was actually under my care when he hospitalized me and assigned me a pscyhatrist who suggested I take a MAOI when I was already on lyrica, benzo, and buprenorphine. I acutally declined the MAOI's even after multiple failed SSRI attempts because at that time I did not know about the drug, not until I read about it more on here, and med sites.
My pdoc, was worried at first about the buprenorphine, but he looked through his book and nowhere did it say you can not mix the two.
Also, under MAOI, on wikipedia, it say opiates are contradicted with MAOIS, except low doses of morphine and buprenorphine.
I am scripted the max- 32mg of buprenorphine, but I actually only take less than 8mg, because I learned less is more when it comes for help with depression.
Lyrica, same thing I was scripted it for fibromyalgia, and generalized pain and it works wonders on my appetite and social anxiety.
I pratically quite benzo's even though I am scripted my fair share of them because IMO the effects don't go well with Nardil.
T3 I never said personally I wanted to take I was just curious about it effects, and wanted to know what it actually does and why people here take it.
And PROVIGIL YES I WANT TO TAKE IT. Everyone here and on another board has been recommendeding it to me everytime I ask about augmentation. I have extreme fatigue even before I took the nardil, can you imagine what my sedation is like now. That is why I messed up and took the adderal, I am dying if I continue walking around like a zombie than I will fail school. I know that alot of people on this board and another board I vist have tried the combination of nardil+provigil, does that make it safe, I don't know, but it sure more safe than adderal. I have actually taken Modnafil before and it's affect are hardly noticable just like a strong caffine pill if that. BUT at this point I will take anything for a boost!
Do I take too much medication, I don't know I see people here that take SSRI+STIMULANT+TCA and all these different combos. I don't think I take as much as some others, but for my age I know I am on alot of medicine, and there is a reason behind this.
I have extreme depression and anxiety, so bad that I resorted too other drug and alcohol, contemplated suicide, and been hospitalized for depression on multiple occasions.
I am a non responder, and I just want to feel normal for once in my life, I think I should have that right.
Another reason is one time under hospitalization, i was a team of liver specialist, and they say I a denied treatment because of my complicated psych problems, they actually suggested me a psych and too be placed on meds, and stablized before I ever even think about, as interferon is a very hard treatment that consists, of shooting yourself up with medication twice a week, and taking multiple pills that have serious side effects, some that I already have, they compared it like putting that foot all the way down on gas peddles. They say it will make my nausea and depression 10x worse. Matter of fact they say it can make a sane man suicidal, suicide used to be listed as a side effect for treatment before it got just a little bit safer.
AND ANOTHER POINT ABOUT ME RECKLESS.
Do you even know how careful I am when it comes to foods and medications now.
I barely eat now because my anxiety makes me scared to eat anything. I have actually lost 10 pound instead of gaining weight which most people do on nardil.
People will bring me home thing to eat like chinese food.
But, I dont eat it, because I don't know if the food has soy, some cheese sauce, of beans that you can't eat.
Most people say you eat most cheese, especially the regular orange processed slices. American cheese, I heard of some even eating Swiss. But when I go out to eat a cheesburger, I make sure no matter what cheese it is that I order a cheesburger without the cheese. I just don't want to take a chance.
With meds too, I have extreme hemroids, and I just took back a hemroid med because it had a vasodialator in it.
I also bought a CUFF to measure my blood pressure, and I started getting OCD about it measuring it everyday.
I want a anti-hypertensive meds bad, I begged my doc to give me a anti-hyper med like Clonidine, but he said no I need to go to the hospital so they can supervise me.
Believe me, I am careful as can be, now. I don't want to upset other, but I heard here a guy even using cheedar cheese to raise his blood pressure because had bad hypotension, no to me that is reckless, but again I don't want to compare myself, or make others mad.
And Phillia, I am sorry but I am getting a lil tired of you being so concerned about my medical conditions, I know I have hep c and it is a horrible, horrible thing. I wish that I was not inflected with such a hard virus to get rid of, and I wish I did not have to take all these meds. Believe me I beat myself up about it all the time. When I first learned I had it, I thought it was the end of the world and felt like dying, and went out and did stupid things. My anxiety make me worry about my health to a unhealthy point. But, to everyone I am really trying to stay positive about this, I only had it for two year, and my enzymes are not that high yet, and have no scarring or anything like that. I just hope to god when and if my depression and anxiety goes away and I am allowed to be treated that they has a safer, more tollerable treatment.
TOO EVERYONE who care, and listens to my post..thank you very much. I am very young, and do not have that much communicaton with the outside world. I find it hard to talk, express myself, and make friends even on the internet chatting. I just want to feel like I belong here, like everyone else probably does.
MUCH love JNEW
