Having loaded up my nervous system gradually on 90mg per day of Nardil I'm trying to see how low I can go without recurrence of symptoms. One evening I'd obviously gone too low. Like flicking a switch I felt terrible again. So I immediately took 30mg of extra Nardil, 25 mg Nortriptyline and 300mg Niacin (I find the flush calming). Within two hours I was feeling great again. It's just that to get to this level, when topping up works in my experience, you have to build up the dose and wait. In my case 6.5 weeks. It was worth the wait. My depression and anxiety was replaced by euphoria, presumably a side effect. This lasted 2 or 3 weeks then I felt normal.
I concur with everyone who says - MAOIs should be first-line treatment for depression
