Guys, guess what....! I went back to 60mg Nardil. I had an abcess on my tooth and I do not know how I ended up with the conclusion that Demerol had to be used. However, I was only at 30mg Nardil at the time, and was using higher doses of Xanax, which probably made me "all over the place" and misheard my doc.
Anyhow here is the situation....
1. I am going of Lamictal
2. I I am swapping Seroquel for Risperidone
3. Stay at 2mg Xanax
Now the nardil situation. On the weekend I played my first gig as guitarist and vocalist of my band....social phobia was quite bad -- i was VERY self conscious and inhibited. I remember when I played my first gig ever I was more confident (I was the drummer/singer of my band)-- at that point Nardil was working like a gem!!Don't get me wrong -- Nardil is still doing a great job -- going down to 30mg and then falling apart at this lower dose showed me.
But, how can we get those really confident feelings again with Nardil? (remember I couldn't even eat in front of people i was so self-conscious before Nardil) It's social phobic effects have waned and its phoic anxiety effects (and deppressive effects have too) Although IT IS STILL, WITHOUBT DOUBT, HELPING. I don't care about euphoria -- just happiness and motivation. These days I have a shower once a week and don't really care about my clothes. I remember all those years ago when Nardil full kicked in, I started enjoying washing, doing my clothes, walking around -- everything!!! It was magical!
Here is my plans1. Boost Nardil to 105mg-150mg/day
2. Have one day off combined with sleep deprivation
3. Hesitant -- go down to 15mg for a month or two
4. Very hesitant -- stp Nardil for 4 months and re-start.But, who knows, maybe the Risperidone will really push it into order -- I remember when I first had risperidone, I was really happy. It was combined with the Nardil ofcourse.
PLEASE GIVE THE ACE-MAN YOUR THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
