> Nardil might be an option - as well as being an antidepressant, it inhibits the breakdown of GABA
Hi, oh god had insomnia and feel awful this morning...took my Inderal dose but just take my blood pressure and its already low so will need to drink something with salt inside to conteract the low blood pressure...
Humm Nardil...first try it back in 2007, do a 4 months try, hit the 90mg dose after 1 month, had bad hypotension with lost of vision and loud tinnitus when I was doing minimal physical things like climbing the stairs... Doc add low dose of florinef to help keeping my blood pressure in the normal range and prevent the extreme orthostatic hypotension. After 4 months I was completly overtired, no help for social phobia, agoraphobia was there full time and was at 8 mg day of Klonopin at the same time...the Nardil did nothing and when I try the Parnate later in 2008 it was even worse and had 3 hypertensive crisis without eating high tyramine foods...thanks god I had some nifedipine pills with me when it happen and was able to go to the ER rapidly after taking it and be saved... also I wasnt able to keep a well control blood pressure with the Parnate, blood pressure was too high or very low especially in the night with readings of 60/35...I remember that one night I wanted to get up to go pee and when I get up I faint and fall on the floor, wake up in the middle of my room and had to cry loud to my mom to bring to me the box of salt and take a huge amount of it as well as 3 times the reguhlar dose of Florinef...also those meds was so energey taking that had to drink coffee all day long...
Seem that I have a weak heart...since I cant tolerate those MAOI'S or the tricyclics...and now the SSRI'S...
I did try another GabaErgic drugs call Sabril or Vigabatrin in the USA, its doing the same thing than the Nardil on the Gaba receptors, but had no luck with it also...side effects was bad especially for the vision and flushing effect...also cause hyperactivity on me, its an anti seizure med...can destroy permantly.the vision...just approved in the USA recently I think but reserve for severe case of seizures....available here in the Canada since a lot of time now...
Didnt try the Gabatril, its not on the Canadian market but read that its having mixed results on anxiety and can give psychosis...?
