It all felt very severe on Monday. I was on the bus and it was so bad I thought about calling 911. It didn't feel that unpleasant, though. Nardil gets rid of unpleasantness and decreases anxiety.
The sounds that sounded louder than they were lasted a few hours, for the most part. But the next day, when I woke up, I was still hearing louder sounds. I think birds were chirping louder.
I stopped taking Nardil yesterday and today. Yesterday I was still feeling side effects, as I mentioned in a previous post. Today I feel fine. I'm back to normal, with almost none of the side effects I've been feeling since going up to 45 mg. My head feels clear, my eyes are more open, and I can think better. I'm also more motivated to do stuff. I've been feeling really lazy and not caring when I went up to 45mg.
I'm afraid that my psychiatrist will tell me to get off Nardil if I tell her about the side effects. She got me off imipramine and clomipramine after I got the initial side effects.
Over the years, I've tried every med you can think of and more. I have pretty severe depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, PTSD, and OCD.
I wouldn't want to repeat what I went through on Monday. It was bad. If anything, I should lower the dose again. I feel that Nardil builds on the previous days worth, so taking 45mg everyday feels like it's too much. That's why I had such bad side effects on Monday.
I take Ativan and Xanax as needed, usually twice a week. I often alternate them. But my city clinic is phasing them out, so they probably won't be prescribing them soon. It will be hard to find a place that will prescribe benzos. That's another challenge that's coming up.
