Hello, I'm new to this site in the hopes that I might be able to get an answer or two that other boards aren't able to help me with.
I started Nardil 5 weeks ago. 1 week on 45mg and 4 weeks on 60mg. I feel no difference yet. My next doc appointment is in early December. So I will know for sure whether or not the 60mg will work for me. We had already discussed going up to 75mg if the 60 is not working. Although my doc is familiar with the drug, he has never prescribed it to any other of his patients before, only to me after years of failed med attempts. So neither of us have any real world experience to base some of my questions on, only text book info.
Lets say I do need to go up to 75mg, how long should I be on it to give it the maximum amount of time before I can decide whether or not it is working? I was going to give it either 6 or 8 weeks, mainly due to not wanting any major side effects and giving it the full chance to kick in.
One more quick question, Ive read so much about this maintenance dose thing. Half the posts say they take it, the other half don't take it, just take their regular full dose. I cannot understand this?I would greatly appreciate any info from either current nardil users, or past users with experience with the drug.
