Hi,
I am taking Nardil now about half a year maybe - now at 90mg, already had 105mg.
While there is at least a partial response on most days, which clearly reduces social anxiety and improves dysthimia, it could still be much better... moreover, there are still side effects I can hardly tolerate in the long-run:
1. Sexual side effects (no libido, decreased arousal anorgasmia... erection still achievable somehow, since I am so young I guess)
2. Fatigue... Especially when having to something passively (like watching a movie) or just very quietly like learning... I never had such a problem, and suddenly I always fall asleep when learning after only some minutes... even if I am principally interested in the stuff, it is just not possible for me to focus and stay awake.
Since Nardil is all in all the most effective drug I tried, I wonder whether adding Ritalin is a good idea? If done carefully it seems to be safe according to different sources - still, I wonder whether it does in fact have the capability to improve the sexual functioning again and to reduce the tiredness.Does somebody have experiences?
Best,
reflecting
