I was prescribed Nardil 15mg for social anxiety, ocd, and depression and started taking it three days ago. So far I'm having major side-effects, namely difficulty thinking, concentrating, planning, and severe apathy (all executive functions?). I know it's normal to have SE's with any med, and it probably sounds like I'm panicking, but the aforementioned SE's are particularly annoying right now as my Spring semester classes just started this week. I can't get through a page or two in my books today. What I need to know is how long this fuzzy thinking/inability to absorb information will last. I can't deal with this for more than a week. I've tried all other primary and secondary meds along with several off-label use meds to treat my conditions but nothing has been effective, with the exception of Klonopin, which only numbs me out emotionally. If anybody can relate to the side-effects I'm dealing with and give me an idea of how long they might last or how to possibly counter them I'd appreciate it. I've had generalized social anxiety, ocd, and depression for over 20 years now and desperately need relief from it, but not at the cost of being able to think, concentrate, etc. Thanks in advance for any responses.
