Alright, so some lameo decided to break my heart and me already suffering from MDD, decided I didn't really care about my life and I decided to give Nardil another shot. I went totally rogue and ill-advised...I didn't even washout from my escitalopram and went right to Nardil. Took my first 15mg of Nardil and 3 hours later, I felt amazing again...
My cocktail is the following:
Nardil (right now 30 mg but will likely work up to 90mg)
Nortriptyline (75mg)
Dexedrine (30 mg)
Cytomel (30mcg)
Ropinirole (0.5 mg)
200mg of 5-HTP
400mg of EGCGI had an awesome four weeks last time I went on Nardil 90mg, dex 60mg, nortriptyline 75mg, 30mcg cytomel, 100mg of 5-HTP... followed by bad hypotension even on 60mg of dexedrine. Gained weight, had bad gastrointestinal side effects, horrible acne. When I tried lowering the Nardil, I lost the antidepressant benefits and side effects were somewhat less but still bad...
Do any of you think adding Lithium to the mix is a good strategy for extending the lovely hypomania? I am thinking of the Newcastle Cocktail of lithium, Nardil and tryptophan. Problem is, I hope lithium doesn't numb me out or make Nardil weight gain or acne worse.
N.B. My pdoc will probably have a heart attack when he finds out what I have done...Might have to sugar coat it...
Thanks friends!
