Hey guys this is my first post so im new to the forum. I have been struggling with social anxiety since I was 18. Last summer my doc put me on nardil and it completely changed my life. My social anxiety was completly gone. I was so confident and was able to communicate with people with ease.I made so many friends. It felt like I never had SA in the first place. As we increased the dosage the benefits just kept on improving. Eventually we reached 90 mg's and everything was going good.
I read somewhere that someone was doing good on 120mg so I decided to up my dose, but without telling my pdoc. Bad idea. I ended up in a mental hospital because my parents called the cops on me for acting extremely "bizzare." From what everyone is saying I was really bugging out and had to be in the hospital for a whole month. The doctors said the reason I became that way was because of the nardil and they took me off it.
With each passing day I was off it I could feel myself slipping back into the state of SA. Now that I am out of the hospital I tried to ask my pdoc to put me back on it and at first she said yes, but then at the last second bailed on me, because her colleagues recommended her not to. I even was honest with her and told her I took to much. Im not sure if that was what caused the whole episode but I think it is. Bottom line is I dont have my nardil, the one drug that worked for me am now very upset because Im back in the state of SA again. I have no life again. I dont know what to do please someone help me!
