OK folks,
I wanted to wait a bit; this is day 3 on 60mg of Marplan (30 b.i.d.) and I know FOR CERTAIN it is working. It "feels" very much like Nardil, if that makes sense, without the munchies/cravings, and hmm--not as much of an artificial, almost-too-good feeling as Nardil gave me when it started.
(This is a GOOD thing. I want to as closely-resemble my pre-diagnosis state as possible.)
SLS: I want to encourage you to stick Marplan out a bit longer if you can, and I hope you're up to 60 now. If you see this, let me know how you're doing...
Ah, but now I have the MAOI-insomnia. Ever since increasing Marplan to 60, I have slept but not restfully and my temazepam 30 no longer does the trick.
Suggestions for a good hypnotic?
Here's what I *won't* take: trazodone or antipsychotics. Other than those, I'm open to suggestions!
PHEW! Here's to hoping it lasts this time. I long for the day when the only time I see my psychiatrist is for refills and I stop thinking so much about meds again...
I haven't mentioned on this board--I am also seeing a MFT (therapist) to work through some of my self esteem/anxiety issues, and he's great. For the first time in 3 years, I am pleased with my psychiatrist, general practitioner and therapist. Feeling pretty lucky these days :-)
