IMHO any benefit from any mainstream antidepressant during the first day is a placebo effect. These medications just take much longer than a day to work. With Nardil, first you have to taper up to a level that will inhibit MAO, then you will generally have to wait for weeks for the medication to work. Sometimes you can get short term relief with a benzo while you are waiting for the med to kick in. The benzo probably won't help the depression, but sometimes they can just help you through the day.I qualified my last statement with "mainstream" because sometimes the stimulants and other medications that affect dopamine can give almost immediate relief. I really have never seen these medications work long term for a person. Also, some of the narcotic medications can give very quick relief. Again, I suspect that very few people have been given long term relief from depression with narcotics. And do not mix stimulants or narcotics with Nardil; unless you know exactly and precisely what you are doing.
Wishing you the Best,
Jedi
