I'm worried that the Nardil will be working well (or doing something at least), but, due to side effects, I'll want to wash out and try something else, whether it be medication or not. Then it might not work if I try to get back on it. For this reason I'm thinking that maybe I should try all possible things before trying Nardil.

Do you think there would be anything wrong with staying on a dose of say 15 mg a day for months on end while I try these options so that I can get the desired effect of Nardil faster if/when I decide to try a legitimate trial?
