> that's cool, I actually found some people in the same boat as me. I am also on klonopin(clonazepam) 1 mg 3 x a day. Iv'e been on nardil for 10 weeks now, and I'm not feeling well. I believe it was the unusual dose increase from 75 at 4-5 weeks in to 105, it messed me up pretty bad with orthostatic hypotension, to the point when I stood up at any time I would get weak, alomost couldn't see, one tiime actually couldn't, and couldn't hear right unless I was lid down. I felt this majorly for about a month now it's just there barely in the mornings, and when I try to reach up high. I'm hoping the depression lateky is do to this. Well I am also looking for an augmentation. If you find something good, let me know
Hi That Guy,
Yeah, I remember when they raised you so high at once. I have some same reactions with Parnate, mine doesn't sound as bad. Are you back down to 75, or 90? Low blood pressure is my main problem too at the moment. I'll get up to go do something and all the sudden I feel dizzy and faint. I just stand there a minute or two and it passes. If not I sit down. It only happens when I'm standing so sure it is BP. When I had Hypertention problem around day 11 or 12, Doc put me on Nifedipine, a med for high BP. That was he*l. I call it the devil med (Although I wouldnt hesitate to take one for hypertention again) But this time I was on for 11 days, a walking zombie. Then when off I didnt feel the Parnate anymore. Talk about frustrating. Its been 5 or 6 days now, just the Parnate and Klonopin 3xday, and its kickin in again pretty well. These MAOI's seem to be finicky as in all has to be right dose, etc. So I wouldn't quit yet. I doubt my PDoc would give me Ritalin either. I know a lot do. Mine even put me on the "old" diet!! Barbaric!! No coffee,wine,beer,chocolate,bananas,etc. I'll let you know if I find any good augments, will you do same for me? Thanks. Hope that Nardil kicks in for ya soon. Your body is probly still recovering as mine was. Then it comes back.
