In reply to ok, i guess it might by NARDIL time again for me, posted by Michael Bell on September 8, 2009, at 20:48:08
> I just have some questions: for those who are on it (or were on it), how much does it help with social paranoia and hypersensitivity to rejection (aka rejection sensitivity).
I am, unfortunately, one of those people who received absolutely no positive results from Nardil.
So, not trying to be pessimistic, just letting you know that while it works great for some people, it just won't work for others.
> do you keep a safety pill in case hypertensive crisis starts?
I never did on Nardil, but I do now that I'm on Parnate. I carry a few Nifedipine pills everywhere I go, just in case.
I was on Nardil for a whole year. Wanted to give it as long a trial as possible. I tried different doses (60mgs, 75mgs, 90mgs) and none of them made a big difference.
By the end of the first Nardil year, I was desperately looking to find a doctor who could help me to augment the Nardil because the pdoc I had back then flatly refused to do anything else for me other than send me to ECT.
I was having a hard time finding someone, and by the time my weight was high enough to get comments from people, I decided to quit Nardil. Once I quit, the weight started to come down right away..
I hope it works for you. I had all my hopes on it, and I was sad that it didn't do anything. But now I have all my hopes on Parnate and it's not disappointing so far.
