Hey -- thats great that you are liking it!
I wouldn't mind trying Nardil/Parnate. How do you cope with the strict diet? I'm bit of a hypochroniatic so I would be really paranoid.....anyway,
I thought you had abandoned pbabble in favour of chasing gals, or was that someone else?

Hello, Ace, Nardil Champion of this Universe!
Great news! I have not posted in awhile, but I do remember that you were trying other ADs. Did the Nardil stop working temporarily or what?
I had tried Nardil awhile ago and although it was effective on my unipolar depression, I gave it up after 3 months due to severe insomnia.
Since then, I had been on Lexapro with excellent results for nearly 18 months before it pooped out and currently I am finishing up week 3 on 40mg of Cymbalta with very encouraging results so far, except for some insomnia for which I am taking Trazodone. I am also on 400mg of Wellbutrin.
Keep on rockin!

Ace:
I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about Nardil. I'm taking klonopin for SAD and GAD which helps, but I don't feel great, don't feel like I'm participating as much in life as I'd like to. I've always wondered what it may feel like to be "normal".
Nothing has worked and I'm thinking about going to Nardil. The side affects and food restrictions have kept me from trying it to this point, but I really don't care any more. I'd rather have a life, if that's possible. I'd appreciate any impute. Thanks

I'm taking klonopin for SAD and GAD which helps, but I don't feel great, don't feel like I'm participating as much in life as I'd like to.
Ok these drugs as well as doing a great job on anxiety can "deaden a person". I would stay on the Klonopin but I wa\ouls also consider Xanax in pace.
I've always wondered what it may feel like to be "normal".

> Nothing has worked and I'm thinking about going to Nardil.Now we are talking!!!
The side affects and food restrictions have kept me from trying it to this point, but I really don't care any more.
The s/effects are noticebal esp at early stages of therapy. The food restrictions is a joke.. I eat what I want. They are antiquated and new studies would find that half the things on the "no-no' list are fine. I eat anything. Just be careful for burgers made at delis and soya sauce. But always carry Nefidepine with you our Thorazine (but this makes you sleep big time!) -- these drugs will stop the hypertensive crises. so chill bro!
I'd rather have a life, if that's possible. I'd appreciate any impute. ThanksTake Nardil for 4 weeks at 60mg, then go to 90mg and you'll have more than a life bro, you'll be on the heavens!

Did the Nardil stop working temporarily or what?No it never does. Only when I treat it with disrespexct.
> I had tried Nardil awhile ago and although it was effective on my unipolar depression, I gave it up after 3 months due to severe insomnia.Dude, just take benzos or an AP indefinately.

Thanks for the info ace. I've heard that the food thing was blown out of proportion from others including my doc (not that you can just ignore it).
May I ask if you gained weight, how much? And did it significatly affect your libido?
So many people seem to do so well on Nardil when nothing else works. I hope I'm one of them too.

> Thanks for the info ace. I've heard that the food thing was blown out of proportion from others including my doc (not that you can just ignore it).
Well I ignore it,,,,except...1. Tap Beer (I don't drink anyway....BTW, before I started Nardil I was an near alcoholoc...Nardilk made me so good I didn't need beer!!)
2. Hamburgers made at deli's...Mcdonalsd is fine...
3. I have used the drug with many others which are a "no-no' with an MAOI, without a problem, but I would NEVER use an SSRI with it.
>
> May I ask if you gained weight, how much? And did it significatly affect your libido?1. Weight- Yes, but not too extreme....Seroquel is causing that now.
2. Libiso: Yes! For a good 5 months but it went away and now I can orgasm just about when I want....but 5 months was worth the freedom Nardil brings! Actually my libido NEVER went away, just the ability to ejaculate.
>
> So many people seem to do so well on Nardil when nothing else works. I hope I'm one of them too.
Have faith...treat it with respect....this is what I meanfor 4 weeks stay on 60mg take 4 a day mixed throughout the day
then at 6 weeks take 90mg
always take it at the same time and just BE patient- it can take a while! But boy is it worth it!!!!
Ace, 2005, Peace.

>Man, you almost sound hypomanic. You're so happy. Just a few questions:
Were you mainly unipolar before Nardil, or something else?
Did you have any physical effects from your disease, or mostly mental?
Does the Nardil cause you to sweat a lot?
Does the Nardil ever cause agitation/anxiety, or is it a good treatment for that?

>I never had a problem drinking tap beer when I was on Parnate. It's really all about the mold and bacteria content rather than the beer not being pasteurised. It depends on how often they flush the tap system out. I guess you can assume if the washroom isn't clean in the place, the beer probably isn't safe to drink either. I also didn't have a problem with my homebrew, but it is so clean that you could probably irrigate wounds with it!

Retention interesting so Robert David was depressed before EMSAM and he said he was only suffering from social anxiety in his posts and wanted some more energy. Wonder if you should post this on an EMSAM thread? Love Phillipa

Do you work and what type of work do you do?
What other meds do you take with Nardil if any?
Are you in therapy now?
How old are you? Approximate you don't have to give exact age?
Did you ever get a hypertensive crisis or suffer from hypotension when sitting still?
Do you take any vitamins?
How do you keep the positive efficacy going?
