Most of the sides seemed worse earlier on but that may have been to no washout from Marplan.
I had three of the worst days of depression I've had in a long time this weekend. Then midday yesterday it seemed to break. I got in to working on an artistic project for a few hours (hadn't been motivated prior) and feel A ton better this morning.
Today is a month and a day on Gavis(Lupin) Nardil 60mg so hopefully this is the true AD effect. It's been Avery bumpy ride. Adjusting to metformin ER might have something to do with it(?) but hopefully I just needed a few more days to get to consistency.
Btw I've become insistant on the brand of generics I've been using of late. I know the common response that the FDA requires them all to be the same etc. I don't find they work the same for me. From trying to find info on Nardil it seems Gavis(Lupin owns) might be slightly more potent. Very few people ever note the brands of meds they try (and either succeeded on or fail on). I think it'd be helpful if more did this. I call pharmacies first to make sure they have or can get particular brands that I find work for me. Anyway my experience noted here is per:
Nardil 60mg (Gavis/Lupin)
Lamictal 150mg (Teva - used for years)
Seroquel 25mg - Sleep only - (Lupin - was on brand pre-generic - Lupin seemed stronger when I switched)
Metformin ER 1500 - Sun Pharma - To try to stave off Nardil Wt Gain. Was on MyLan IR 500x2 for a month - didn't notice much bad or good (wt stable). 2wks on ER by Sun since that's the only brand the pharmacy had / couldn't find a consensus. Would consider trying another generic if I gain a lot of weight over time just to make sure)
