> Before Nardil i was just a little depressed and anxious. Now apparently full blown mental illness?
I am sorry that Nardil was so destructive for you. It happens. I became psychotic on Nardil twice. Antipsychotics were used to treat the reactions. Unfortunately, this shock to the system left me in a more severe depression with greater treatment resistance. I think taking Abilify offered me some protection against having a manic reaction to Nardil over the last 15 years. Were you taking any antipsychotics when you had your psychotic reaction to Nardil?
Trintellix really changed my system in some way. I discontinued it almost two weeks ago because I suffered a bad reaction to it, which included a profound alteration in cognition. It left me dazed and confused. It was a zombie-like brain fog. I was also more depressed. Some dysphoria and depersonalization. I couldn't function. I still experience after-effects post-discontinuation. It is not pleasant. I feel that I should wait until they completely disappear and give the brain time to settle. I might wait another two weeks before adding back a low dosage of Effexor.
