> "I'm doing pretty well, thanks for asking. Two weeks ago my pdoc raised me to 90mg Nardil and I had a nasty reaction and ended up in the hospital. Surprising even myself I'm back on it at 60mg and will probably go up to 75mg in a few weeks. I will closely monitor my Zyprexa along with my symptoms. Nardil works too well for me to ditch it at this point."

> Long/short, I stopped all meds, became severely depressed, and within a week I was back on 45mg of Nardil. I'm now at 60mg Nardil, along with 7.5mg Zyprexa and 1.5 Klonopin and feeling much improved and stable.

Umm...Zyprexa. Why do you take it? I mean if its ESSENTIAL the so be it. But how do u know it isn't interfering with the Nardill? I start Nardil soon, after stopping ALL but clonazepam (from anxiety). Even that will go once Nardil's anxiolitic effects take ahold.
If it worked at 60, why on earth increase??? Your not leaving yourself any leeway for the future!
