Regarding augmenting Nardil with a stimulant, there are reports of this combination being safe and effective, but also one reported fatal reaction in the literature. This combination requires close monitoring and safety precautions. There are definite risks, but also potential for benefit. It's something you and your prescribing doctor could discuss. The fact that you've taken stimulants before doesn't eliminate the risk.
If you and your doctor decide to try augmenting Nardil with a stimulant, my advice would be to NOT use Adderall XR initially. If you have a bad reaction, you don't want it to stay in your system. In my opinion, low dose immediate release Adderall would be a better choice. Probably best to do Nardil monotherapy for several weeks to see how you respond before augmenting. Just my thoughts.
> Good advice and thank you for the quick response. I had been suffering from this depression for months whereas I just discontinued the Adderall though. I have actually done so many times before, experiencing no withdrawal effects from it. If anyone (or you) else could comment on the augmentation of dex and the subsequent dosage adjustments that'd be appreciated.
