How to treat the mood swings caused by nardi?

Posted by Chinaboy on March 17, 2015, at 21:23:29

The dose of nardi is increasd to 90mg and now I'm experiencing intensely low mood (firstly high for 2days then low).

Then addition of Lamictal and Litium makes everything even worse.I'm considering an AAP to augment it. Of Abilify, Seroquel, Olanzepine, which works the best?

My pdoc is now considering lowering the dosage. At what lowest dose does Nardil remain effective?

Any opinion would be greatly appreciated!

Is it a common phenomenon for high dose of nardi to cause mood swing?

.I'm considering an AAP to treat the mood swing and augment its effacacy. Of Abilify, Seroquel, Olanzepine, which works the best?

Hi Chinaboy,

If my understanding is correct, Nardil is generally thought to be most effective at doses ranging from 60 mg to 90 mg, although I have heard of 45 mg being used, mainly as a maintenance dose.

In my past experience with Nardil, I recall experiencing strong feelings of drowsiness early on in my trial before I started experiencing what might have been therapeutic effects from the medication. Could this (the drowsiness) be what you're experiencing now? If my understanding is correct, it can usually take six to eight weeks or longer on Nardil before one begins to get a good idea as to what the medication's longer-term effects are going to look like. For how long have you been taking Nardil? And for how long have you been at 90 mg?
