> So happy to hear it's working! I'm glad you posted your update..It was like that for me too..although I'm still at 45 mg..I know I had some hypomania and ended up spending too much money, but all on projects I finally had the energy to tackle..Nardil is so different from any other AD I've been on (and I've been on everyone except Remeron)..no feelings of apathy..and ENERGY..I had forgotten what it felt like..I'm going to discuss increasing my dosage when I see my pdoc..I know I have to watch the hypomania tho, cause I can't tolerate mood stabilizers..I too hope it doesn't poop out on me..

>Hi Jusherself,
Yes, you're right, the apathy from SSRI's is a major thing that I'm not experiencing with Nardil. Interesting that you liked Remeron. For me, it sort of worked, but was nothing like what I'm experiencing now. I'm watching the hypomania, and money spending, and personal interactions carefully. I don't think I have hypomania, but would hate to do something I would later regret as a result. I hope I would have the insight to realize if I were becoming hypomanic, but I'm not totally sure if I would. Is it easy for you to recognize when it happens?
