Guys thanks for the comments so far.
Emmanuel i will look into it. Thanks. The kind of person is very important for me therapywise. Mentally healthy himself and a big good heart. Just a lovingly person.
This is actually the first antidepressant i tried, so ive pretty much been depressend for large parts of my life. St Johns wort helped me through the last phase of school and it + me did a pretty good job there. But it didnt nearly have the efficiancy of nardil. This is like a cannon lol.
Bipolar is a concern of my pdoc and me. however i never had manic nor hypomanic phases prior to nardil. I think i was a bit above normal sometimes but very rarely. Felt sh*t alot though lol
But mood swings, yes they were part of my day-day life.Now with nardil i did have insomnia, but i didnt feel fine with it. The opposite i felt completly wasted. It might have been slight hypomania in the beginning on 60mg.
My mood on nardil has fluctuations, but not that much. I got kicked outta my hostfamily home, because i spoke up against the father, who thought its ok to give me sh*t about my condition. (i rarely spoke up that way against people in my life) The 2 days after alone in the hotel room have been extremly tough but thats somewhat normal. The female part of the family have been awesome, i could talk about everything with them. They were really supportive. Its kind of a brake up from two very good friends to me.
Can you guys think of a med that would give me some more stability? maybe low dose lithium? im having a rough time right now. Waking up from 20 years of depression aint easy.
Thanks for the kind welcoming;) The Nardil link list will follow soon.
