In reply to Nardil HAS kicked in! But the insomnia...?, posted by zonked on June 15, 2011, at 21:49:36
Hey z,
Glad it is getting there for you. Are you getting the hypomania at all? When I first started Nardil, I had this side effect for a long time. On subsequent restarts, it never happened. Kind of missed it. LOL Guess it is nothing to laugh about; it can be serious enough for some people to have to discontinue. A few mistake this "HIGH" for the actual antidepressant effect of Nardil, and end up chasing the dragon! Not a good thing.I use my .5mg of clonazepam with 50mg of Benadryl for insomnia. I have been using Benadryl for years with really no tolerance. I am so affected by the sleep inducing antihistamines, that they just keep working. Used TRAZ when I first started Nardil, but that was just to much of a drugged feeling for me. Also used small doses of Seroquel at 12.5 to 25mg. I'm just lucky that the histamine medications affect me like this, they don't work for everybody.
Be well,
Jedi
