It's been 3wks and Nardil is not kicking in. In fact, my mood has plummeted with each passing day. I'm back in the abyss. And I know, I know, you will all tell me to give it more time. Which I will. But I can say that this experience is SO different from the one I had the first time I was put on Nardil...it only took 1 1/2 - 2wks to start really working (ie, not the blip), and I certainly never had this major deterioration in my mood. My gut is telling me Nardil is not going to work this time. And, of course, the Ritalin I've been on to help keep my mood up while waiting for Nardil to work has pooped out. Doesn't take long for me to develop tolerance, that's for sure.
Anyways, in case my pdoc wants to try Parnate instead, I was wondering if it's necessary to have a washout between two MAOIs. Seems to me you wouldn't need it, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was necessary. Just getting ready for future options.
