I know there was just a Nardil dosage thread posted but, with your guys experience did you find any different results spreading all the doses out, all at once, or a couple doses lumped together? Also, empty or full stomach?

Wattup bro to answer your question from personal experience, nardil works best when I only take 2 doses, one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. If you have an uneven pill count on your dose like say 75mg, I find it works best to take the larger dose in the morning, and the smaller dose early afternoon.When you chop the dose down into 3 or more doses the effect is not as strong, for me at least. For social anxiety I really do recomend a dose of at least 90mg to relieve it completly. When I was on 90mg the social anxiety was consitently in around 80% remission sometimes there was full remission. I am eagerly awaiting to back on the nardil this year once I lose more weight. I have some questions for you, are u dealing with insomnia?, and how are u fighting the weight gain? Im sure I can be of service to u so feel free to ask me any questions. God bless you.

Damn I typed out a big long response and it didn't post!' how you doing man? Thanks for the response and advice, much appreciated and that's what I'll do with my doses. The insomnia isn't to bad right now with the dose I'm at, a Valium or a few unisom do the trick but I'm going to ask my doctor for something. I noticed my metabolism has slowed since starting so I have cut back my carbs and started cardio. I'm into bodybuilding to gaining or losing weight is part of my lifestyle. Also got some t3(cytomel) coming that should bring my metabolism back to normal so that should help! Couple more questions for ya. Did u get much daytime tiredness? And if so how did you fight it? Also at what dose and duration did u notice results? Thanks again for the response, hope you have a great night

Im doin good bro thanks, ya as far as daytime tiredness I think I got that sporacticly mostly because I was having a hard time dealing with the insomnia.( I was only get 4-6 hours of sleep a night, sometimes none at all) For me it was so overwelming sometimes I would just sleep in my car for a couple of hours in broad day light. I combated it by drinking a lot of caffiene, like 2 cups from dunkin donuts with expreso shots or a bunch of soda and redbulls, Although this worked most of the time it also had me wired for hours and sometimes I couldnt fall asleep at night. How bad is it for u? Like with me it could be because your getting less sleep at night because ur body is adjusting to the med, and this is making ur body crave more sleep throughout the day. My recomendations would be increase caffiene intake but not to high, and just continue to wait it out till ur body fully adjusts to the med. Remember insomnia can put you in a real bad headspace if you let it so watch ur caffiene intake.
As for what dose I noticed improvment at Il say it like this. I didnt notice any signifigant change in social anxiety until about the 4 month mark at 45mg. Maybe before that change I was a little more comfortable or confident but nothing drastic. When I did notice a change it was like a light switch turned on. I was more confident, more aware, much less fearful of people. I could converse with my family and people close to me effortlasly now, I had my wit back. However I still noticed I struggled with strangers, even though there was an improvment there as well. As I moved up in dosage I got more and more comfortable and fears were disipating with each passing day.I was getting more and more comfortable talking to anyone even strangers. When I got to 90mg I felt like for the first time in my life the social anxiety was gone. I was comfortable and confident with whoever I was with. For someone who has dealt with social anxiety this is a truely amazing feeling to realise that. I also augmented heavily with 5htp, although it seemed to help, I would not recomend since there is no clinical evidence that proves its a safe combo.
Now, I want it to work for you to bro, I will pray for you. As for me Im waiting to get back on nardil(this time with lithium) as soon as I cut these pounds. Remember the higher you go in dosage the better relief you may experience, understand that the side effects may increase along with that. Just something to keep in mind. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask bro. Peace and God bless.
