That gives me hope!

How long have you been on it, and at what dosage?

> You could ask your doc about adding provigil. Apparently it's very effective at combating Nardil somnolence. Your PDoc might have to be rather progressive/adventurous to prescribe it though, since it's contraindicated.

I started taking more B6 and salt tablets and increased my water intake. The b6 is supposed to help with the myoclonic jerks and the salt tablets for hypotention. Although I still get somnelence of course, yesterday and today I haven't had one of those weird spells with it.

I'll ask my doctor about provigil, but I'm scared she will take me off nardil.
