Dear Jedi,
You mention below using high-dose benzos to make it through the transition to Nardil. Did your doctor recommend this approach? Can you tell me more about it? Sorry if too personal.
I think MAOIs would work for me but I'm so scared of the Prozac washout.
Thanks,
Roslynn> Nardil is the "BOMB" for atypical depression with anxiety. It will work when so many other meds have not. Most meds have a two week washout. Prozac is said to be five. When Nardil works for atypical depression it is like throwing a switch. The light just comes on when it kicks in. I used high dose benzos to get through the pain while I gave the Nardil a chance to work. Don't look past the MAOIs if you have treatment resistant atypical depression.
