I'm currently taking valproate and alprozolam which helpes a fair bit and i just started imiparmine for the depression side of things. However i was have great success with valproate and lexapro but i stopped the lexapro because i thought it was causing my recent problem of having to sleep 15 hours a day but turns out it wasn't the cause after all, havn't actually found out whats causing it yet but i know it isn't the valproate either.
The nardil worked on exactly 3 weeks taking my starting dose of 45 mg. problem was i couldn't get out of bed or i would faint non stop. I tried it later on at 30mg but no luck and when i took it to 45mg i instantly started fainting again. third time i went all out and started at 90mg :) It was like being drunk for the first week and after that the only side effect was severe constipation but after a couple months still no posative results.
> > Personally i would see if you can try the higher dose first. I have social phobia and nardil was the best but i switched to parnate because of side effects (switched without a washout period) but the parnate didn't help the social phobia at all. Problem now is that i've tried nardil again a couple times and it no longer works.
