> > Hey everyone, ace, how are you? I'm on about my third or fourth week of Nardil at 60 mg, it's definately struck a blow to my anxiety, but I'm also on zyprexa, 10mg and 7mg clonazepam, and I'm usually tired, but worse yet, I'm fairly depressed, sometimes for hourss on end. I don't know if this could be due to the dopamine blocking effects of zyprexa, any thoughts - thanks.

I agree with Questionmark - I think your doses of these two other agents are too high- for example try 5mg Zypexa with 2mg Klonopin. You naturally are feeling very sedate and that might be negating the activation and motivation Nardil can give you.

Hey Ace, thanks for the advice, how u doing? I have to admit that I'm still often quite depressed on the nardil, still 60mg, and I worry that the anxiety will come back if I lower the dose of zyprexa or clonazepam, I was hoping the nardil would kick in powerfully I've been on it for about a month. I don't see my pdoc for another week and a half - I think I'm going to try raising the dose to 90, not that 30 more milligrams of the effect I'm already getting would be satisfactory at all, but perhaps the nardil is on the verge of kicking in. I'm impetuous, I'll hope what's going on is a combination of what you say, that it needs more time and I need a higher dosage. I'll keep you abreast.
