In reply to The SSRI wheel and trying something new, Nardil, posted by mantus on December 4, 2010, at 19:51:22
>I decided to try nardil, so I went down to 20mg of celexa for 1 week, then off completely for two. During this time I have noticed an extreme increase in irritability and being overly emotional (crying frequently over things I never had in the past).
I suppose the issue here is that you withdrew from citalopram very rapidly, and are now experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Hopefully, you will be feeling much better in a few weeks times when the withdrawal symptoms pass and Nardil starts to work. It could be a bumpy ride because you'll have anxiety, withdrawal symptoms from citalopram and adverse effects from Nardil all at once. I'm not sure why your doctor had you come off citalopram so rapidly. Anyway, you can't change that now so you'll need to find ways to make things easier. Like you said, you could try Klonopin instead of Ativan.
Best of luck. I hope you get a really good response to Nardil.
