In reply to another nardil Q- timing, dose + cognitive effects, posted by TriedEveryDrug on March 27, 2009, at 10:18:35
Since it takes roughly 2 weeks to see any read positive benefit from a dose increase of nardil...the initial effect will be sides like your "spaceyness"...so easy call for you here...stick to 15mg a day until youve the time to be a lil foggy and dizzy. It wont hurt your response to the med only delay it. Don't do the go up then come down thing if you can...try to avoid this strategy whenever you use nardil until it's been in your system for months. It will hinder response and make sides and things see-saw overly....they will do this on their own so no need to encourage them.
Also...i'm not sure how this effects your "spaceyness" but if you are underconfident with the 15mg of nardil for the interview...just a touch of benzo (not much though as i'm guessing dopiness will follow to high a dose) may help.

The main problem I went to see him for originally was ADD, but I got really frustrated w/ SP so I'm taking this detour (and other meds either didn't work or I couldn't tolerate them - hence my forum name - triedeverydrug - I guess it should be triedeverymed because I don't mean street drugs.)
