I've reached a crossroads in my life where I need to determine what my next long-term therapy med for SP is going to be. The Klonopin has been great for anxiety, but it's been making me more and more anhedonic and dysthymic, and I can't take it anymore. Using adjunctive meds like adderall or amisulpride or prozac have had minimal beneficial effects if any.
I once tried Nardil for about 3 weeks, and it was the best med for SP I've ever tried (in combo with Klonopin). But the side effect profile scared me too much.
Now I've come full circle, and I need your advice please. If you've ever used Nardil, especially for SP, please answer the following:
1) How real is the hypertensive crisis risk if I follow the diet?
2) What is the best med to block a hypertensive crisis from occurring?
3) Do the sexual side effects ever go away?
4) Finally, what is your overall feeling regarding Nardil as long term treatment for SP?
Thanks so much for your help. I hope everyone is making progress towards the ultimate goal.
