Hi Courtney,
If Nardil is right for you, when it kicks in you will know it. There is nothing subtle about Nardil. When I first used it, I had to get up to 75mg daily for about five weeks before it kicked in. However, when it started working, it was like flipping a switch. You may not need as large a dose to get 90% MAO inhibition, but it will probably take more than 45mg. I am a large man, over 250 lbs., so 90mg was the usual effective dosage for me.I doubt if all of your side effects are directly related to Nardil. The major side effects for me were: insomnia, delayed orgasm, massive carbohydrate cravings, weight gain and hypomania-when it first started working. Ironic that some of the side effects of Nardil are the same as the symptoms of atypical depression.
Hang in there. You may need to get up to 60mg and then hold on for a month. If your depression is atypical, don't give up on this one. It will most likely work where others have failed.
I used high dosage clonazepam to survive while giving the Nardil a chance to work.
Be Well,
Jedi
