O.K.
I'm trying to keep a daily journal of what I'm feeling. Yesterday 1st dose of marplan (10 mgs.) Extreme headache and nauseau all day. Total loss of appetite, dizzyness, no energy, shaky, upset stomach, still feel anxietal. Slept o.k. last night, but had to take 1 zanax with some melatonin.
No problems with blood pressure. 110/70.
Today - no headache, blood pressure still o.k. Felt so-so this morning. Still no appetite. As day goes on, feel worse. Had to end up taking half a zanax (.50) to calm down nerves.
Hoping that this is just initial effects and things will get better over the next couple of days. Is it normal to feel this crappy going on an maoi. (Even though I usually felt pretty bad going on an ssri, although not quite like this)
I have to admit I think my nerves are playing a big role and I am trying to back down off of my zanax (slowly) at the same time because anytime I take more than 1 mg of zanax, I get a headache. Am wondering if I am experiencing some withdrawal from that.
Would love some feedback on your experiences the first week of an maoi.
Thanks,
Courtney
