Hi,
I've been at 120mg of Nardil for the past two months, up from 90mg where I was for many months. The benefit I received initially at 90 seemed to go away, and now at 120 I am not feeling much additional benefit, especially in the socialization/anxiety dimension. My depression is fairly well managed but there hasn't been the impact on social motivation, focus/attention as I would have liked. I currently feel no detectable side effects with Nardil, and to-date haven't had anything close to a hypertensive reaction from eating things even as risky as raw cacao nibs (a lot of them at once on an empty stomach). Eat as much and as many types of cheese as I want.
SO I'm wondering if for some reason even 120mg is not enough for me and if i would benefit from going even higher.
Have people heard of those who haven't seen benefit with Nardil until they take it even higher than the max recommended dose of 120mg? FWIW, I am also pretty heavy/muscular, and also take Bydureon, which slows digestion (long acting Byetta similar to Victoza, a GLP1 agonist) and which I suspect may be having some impact on how I absorb Nardil (even though I try to always take on an empty stomach).
Basically, how high can I go? Dr. says he doesn't have experience with more than 120mg. What else could I add that would help with the social motivation/anxiety and desire? Wellbutrin was tried at 90mg of Nardil up to 300mg of wellbutrin; didn't really do it.
Thanks
