NARDIL AUGMENTATORS + TIPS, PEER IDEAS PLEASE!

Posted by jnew12 on November 4, 2008, at 10:42:35

For me, Xanax and Klonopin do not work quite the same as they do on Nardil. Does it have something to do with how Nardil already inhibits that GABA enzyme? I actually believe I need less klonopin, and xanax know that I am on a MAOI, because it messes with I thin it may mess with it's effects, is that true for other people? For me Nardil takes away the anti anxiety properties of benzo's and just makes me sedated.

Lyrica on the other hand I thin is the augmentator. It is very easy to get, I had a doc throw it at me, it is FAST ACTING, and some say it make you feel like your on GHB on high doses. Low doses don't do nothing but sedate you, and make you feel out of it. But when you get into the 400-600mg range it actually SPEEDS you up, give you EUPHORIA, and actually for me totally change the WAY I FEEL. But it is not without side effects, I feel dizyness, If you take it you will probably feel like your stoned, and some may people may comment that your eyes look glazed- like they do me, also for some reason you eat like a pig (Does anyone else get this effect).. The eating part is good for me, because it takes away my nausea (I have a vomiting disorder called- Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome. But, it is a pretty benign drug and really easy to get. All you have to do is say that you have some nerve pain, or fibormyalgia, that is easy for a doc to believe because people with fibro are alway depressed. And if your depressed you might feel some pain, I know I do. I think that is why they advertise cymbalta for pain. But, actually it has been approved in EUROPE for General Anxiety Disorder I think, and also been recommended for Social Anxiety, I read many people approve of it in books, and med sites like pub med, and using google scholar.

If your psychatrist has heard of it he might prescribe it for those reasons, psychs used to give out it's little brother neurotin (which is no way as good I think). I have not tried neurotin though..does anyone know if it works as good as lyrica for anxiety? I know it was used for mood stablization.

Lyrica though, is pretty easy to get from a regular doctor, or registered nurse. Some love this drug, as my doctor does.

Beware, there is mild WD when coming off it, less that benzo WD though, you will feel a little sick, and want to vomit. Low doses are easy as cake, but if your on a dose high is me (400mg -600mg) then you will have to taper .

Your doctor will start you off at a low dose maybe, 25mg twice a day, or 50mg, twice a day. If you like it, demand more say it works well. I started off at at least 100mg, and worked my way up too 200mg, for a complete change in behavior, attitude, altered consious, changed thinking try 400mg. The max is 600mg, that is a little hard to get that is why I only get 400mg from my doc. But, when I feel like changing my mood and ablerterating anxiety I take 600mg one day, and 200mg the next so I don't run out early.
It seriously alter how you feel in every way, your personality, your thoughts, your speech, you walk.

By the way it is also totted as NON-ADDICTING, they will even give it to substance abuser for some reason, although it is scheduled but I think it's a lower lever than even benzos?

My doctor will not prescribe Ritalin, or Adderal XR, because they are highly contradicted and some say here it is a recipe for disaster. You don't want to go to the hospital. I went behind my PDOC back and got some Adderal, I tried it with Nardil a couple times (maybe like 4) I did not get any hypertension even at doses 40mg of adderal xr, but now looking back it was not a good idea, and I and you don't want to risk it getting hypertension, and I didn't want my doctor find out I was taking without his knowledge so I stopped. Does anyone else do, or ever took a stimulant without the doc that give you MAOI's knowing? If you really want to try adderal xr make sure you doctor knows don't do what I did! Do you think he will find out, I see him today, and I don't want him to take it away yet.

If you doctor is well versed in MAOIS, and has read many studies, you might get a low dose of dexedrine which is like adderal, but has one amphetamine salt, instead of four, I think this is why it is less dangerous. That is true yet? I still think it's dangerous.

Even Provigil is contradicted and a doctor who is not versed in MAOI probablly will not perscibe that either. I really want to try PROVIGIL.. do you think it is a stupid idea to order progvigil online, because it is less risky? I probably wont. But I really want to try..because Nardil give me HEAVY sedation,and hypotension . I think Provigil is less dangerous than the highly scheduled amphetamines, and dopamine antagonist. Do you think it will help with Sedation, Concentration, and hypotension, if so I really want provigil. But, still probably would not take it with out caution it still effect some of the same receptors as Anti Depressant and Stims, which are not allowed I think, right?

I would not personally augment it with lamictal, lithium, or any antipsychotic, unless I was bipolar or heard voices, This will probably make me sedated as heck, even though they are not contradicted I don't think it's worth a try. How many others here take lamicatal, lithium or anti psychotics with a MAOI?

I think Benzo's do have there place but probably are better tolerated with parnate then nardil, because again nardil affects the enzyme that inhibits GABA. So, it may react differently there was someone who took a benzo with Nardil, and had a panic attack, which was very strange, but belivable, because of how I think it changes the effect of drugs like klonopin, xanax, and valium.

If you really have to take a benzo like I do sometimes take one, out of the three benzos, I would take Xanax because it is fast acting, and gets out of your system quick so you don't build a tolerance.

Xanax is very effective for night time insomnia too.

Another thing people augment nardil with is T3, the pill is called cytomel and it speeds up your thyroid, and metabolism I think. One doctor put me on it because he said it augments antidepressants and make them work faster, I actually got more energy and enjoyed it, but then two other psychatrist said they never heard of it, and one took me off it because he said that was a stupid idea.

But, here I read people augment with T3 all the time. I wonder what the true reason is for?

It would not hurt to try, I really don't know how it reacts on other people, and I don't know if it will give you energy like it did me because it is not a stim.

Another drug that is highly effective for treatment resistant depression is buprenorphine.

I get it for generalized pain, and was also given it to get off a stronger opiate i was taking, methadone and morphine.

It is non addicting, the effects are not that noticable but it has been proven to work on depression. And, for me it's the second best augmentor for nardil, behind lyrica.

In the US, physchatirst and doctors have to have a special license to prescribe it, so if you live in another country I don't know if you can get it. If you live in Europe you will probably get it easy because they use it for PAIN more than they do in the US, because it is not offically FDA recommended for pain in the US right now, but I think it will, or should be soon.

If you get it, it probably wont be for depression anyways, unless you had a real cool doctor, or someone who reads the studies and is willing to help. Read the studies it works BUPE works GREAT for DEPRESSION for a lot of people.

Nardil has not been working well for me as of late, unless I augment it with lyrica, and buprenorphine because I don't know if it has kicked in yet, I have been taking it for a month, I will give it one more month and if it does not work, I am switching to parnate or getting off antidepressant all together, and just use anti-anxiety agents. I have tried a bunch of anti D's (zoloft, remeron, effexor, paxil, lexpro, trazadone, anafranil, prozac, ritalin, adderal, and probally many more) I just don't antidepressant are for me, I even read in some studies MAOI's are no more effective, than the newer SSRI's and if that is true I am screwed. That means I will probably have to wrestle with depression all my life. There is also studies (KIRSH) saying that antidepressants are no more effective that placebo. Again if that is true, I will probably end up living a sub par life- either on disability, or floating around, I just hope that I dont turn to drugs, or suicide.

I think Nardil has real bad effects on my concentration, another reason I wish I was prescibed a stimulant, but oh well, stimulants don't work as well on social anxiety as they do on depression and ADHD anyways.

Oh yeah, I make sure I take a B-Complex because nardil has been proven to deplete vitamin B-6. I would also take a multi vitamin.

It is also great to take something with DHA, and EPA, like fish oil, and flax seed. I put a bunch of flax seed on my oatmeal everyday. Fish oil is better though, actually HEMP has the most balanced EPA, and DHA, for the human body. EPA, and DHA, have been studied and been proven to calm the mind, and help with disorders like depression and anxiety, good for the mind. And, does not interact at all.

Also, do not drink protein shakes, they may be healthy but some contain SOY (which is contradicted) and a lot have a ton of Amino Acids, some have even more added because amino acids are really good for you but, in most blends of amino acids there is TYROSINE which is basically the pre-curser to TRYAMINE, I may be mistaken but I think I read that somewhere. If you took a Tyrosine pill (which is stimulating) you would probably have a trip to the hospital because of it's filled with TYRAMINE, even more than aged CHEESE I think.

Ok, that about sums it up. Good luck with the Nardil! I hope it kicks in for me, or it's the blue for me..........

Yes phillipa I already told you that!

The only major health problem I have is hepatitis C, it's not the end of the world, it can be treated now days, it not like it aids or anything like that.

I also have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, if one is intrested they should look it up on wikipedia, it is a rare disorder that makes you vomit, usually in stressful situations, it is so hard to get a diagonosis for this disorder. When I was a kid I had to go to over 10 stomach doctors, and had many barium swallows, and had ultrasounds, and endoscopes. IT SO FRUSTRATING. They all came up nothing wrong! I kept getting placed on Reglan, which is a antipsychotic, and it did no help, if I stayed on this drug since I was seven I would probably have tardive dyskinia by now.

So many other kids have this disorder and suffer in silence because not many doctors know what it is, they usually just pass it off as acid reflux or something. They say that kids miss a estimated like 30 days of school and go through like twice as many doctors as I did to get a diagnosis.

I finally got a diagnosis when I saw a neurologist not a stomach doctor! I found out the disorder is more linked to migrane headches, than the stomach. It's funny you get all the symptoms of a migrane without the migrane, and just get massive nausea and continuios vomiting.

It's funny they treat this disorder with low dose of Evail- a trycylic antidepressant..how weird.

But, also drugs, like marinol, zofran, are used to stop the nausea, and benzo and pain pills are used to stop the pain and knock the person out.

When I get time I am going to donate to the cause.

It sucks my vomiting is potentiated by hep c.

But luckily every since I been on lyrica and nardil i have not had an attack!


And yes as I told you my pain specialist (also addiction specialist) my pdoc, and my primary care all know all my psychatric problems, and other problems. They all know all the meds I take now also.

GUESS WHAT... I just got back from my pdoc and...

I got yelled at by my psychatrist for mixing adderal xr with my Nardil. I can not believe it the pharmacy called and told on me! He scolded me and asked me if I had a death wish.

I guess I deserved it, for being so stupid, I read it was ok on a website, I guess you should not believe everything you read.

Oh, and he would not give me Provigil, he looked it up in his book and it said can not take with MAOI's. He said if another doctor gave me Provigil he would not care, but he does not want to take the chance.

That sucks, because I know provigil would be safe.

 

Reckless Self-Medicating?

I really hope you get well or are doing well. But I think you are way too reckless combining MAOIS, with potent Opiates, adding Adderall without telling your doctor and always looking for new things to add like T3, Modafinil.

In reply to Re: NARDIL AUGMENTATORS + TIPS, PEER IDEAS PLEASE!, posted by jnew12 on November 4, 2008, at 13:41:49

First off I thought we went over this before. I made a big mistake by reading (here) from another poster who mixed adderal xr with there nardil. Because I was new, and stupid at the time and despretaly wanted to try something to give me energy since I have fibromygaliga which give you fatigue, I might also suffer from chronic fatigue disorder since the two are quite similar. Once you all told me of the dangers, in the post I admited my wrongdoings and quit the Adderal right there on the spot and made post about.

Then someone accused me of not informing all my doctor about my medications. Which one of them did not know all that I was taking.

I went ahead and called or saw my doctor (my pains specialist, my pdoc, my regular doc, my gastroenterologist, and EVEN MY THERPAIST!) and told them ALL of my disorders, and told them each medication I was on, how much, when I take it, and why.

Then I made a post thanking the members pointing out my errors of judgement, and helping me get on the right track, I think I can find the post if you want I believe I also appologized about my mistake of ingesting adderal without fully investegating it's effect on MAOIs.

But, now yeah I may take a lot of medication, but I have problems that warrant them and was taking everything before I started nardil!!

I was not even saying I wanted to try all the medication I listed I was just suggesting augmentation for those who might be even newer than me or interested in my personal experiences, especially with buprenorphine, and lyrica because I know that people talk about it on this board, I also post this post to learn about augmentation just to learn from people that know more than me about it, it's not like I wanted to jump on ever medication know to mankind.

Like I said my problem warrant my medication. And I do have many problems.

I have been taking buprenorphine, for fibromyalgia, and generalized pain, I will aslo admit that I was addicted to pain killer at once, but was controling my use of morphine before my doctor switched me to buprenorphine because he said that they use it in Europe all the time for pain, it will help my depression, and that I will not build tolerance.

My painspecialist gave me the OK to take buprenorphine with Nardil, he was actually under my care when he hospitalized me and assigned me a pscyhatrist who suggested I take a MAOI when I was already on lyrica, benzo, and buprenorphine. I acutally declined the MAOI's even after multiple failed SSRI attempts because at that time I did not know about the drug, not until I read about it more on here, and med sites.

My pdoc, was worried at first about the buprenorphine, but he looked through his book and nowhere did it say you can not mix the two.

Also, under MAOI, on wikipedia, it say opiates are contradicted with MAOIS, except low doses of morphine and buprenorphine.

I am scripted the max- 32mg of buprenorphine, but I actually only take less than 8mg, because I learned less is more when it comes for help with depression.

Lyrica, same thing I was scripted it for fibromyalgia, and generalized pain and it works wonders on my appetite and social anxiety.

I pratically quite benzo's even though I am scripted my fair share of them because IMO the effects don't go well with Nardil.

T3 I never said personally I wanted to take I was just curious about it effects, and wanted to know what it actually does and why people here take it.

And PROVIGIL YES I WANT TO TAKE IT. Everyone here and on another board has been recommendeding it to me everytime I ask about augmentation. I have extreme fatigue even before I took the nardil, can you imagine what my sedation is like now. That is why I messed up and took the adderal, I am dying if I continue walking around like a zombie than I will fail school. I know that alot of people on this board and another board I vist have tried the combination of nardil+provigil, does that make it safe, I don't know, but it sure more safe than adderal. I have actually taken Modnafil before and it's affect are hardly noticable just like a strong caffine pill if that. BUT at this point I will take anything for a boost!

Do I take too much medication, I don't know I see people here that take SSRI+STIMULANT+TCA and all these different combos. I don't think I take as much as some others, but for my age I know I am on alot of medicine, and there is a reason behind this.

I have extreme depression and anxiety, so bad that I resorted too other drug and alcohol, contemplated suicide, and been hospitalized for depression on multiple occasions.

I am a non responder, and I just want to feel normal for once in my life, I think I should have that right.

Another reason is one time under hospitalization, i was a team of liver specialist, and they say I a denied treatment because of my complicated psych problems, they actually suggested me a psych and too be placed on meds, and stablized before I ever even think about, as interferon is a very hard treatment that consists, of shooting yourself up with medication twice a week, and taking multiple pills that have serious side effects, some that I already have, they compared it like putting that foot all the way down on gas peddles. They say it will make my nausea and depression 10x worse. Matter of fact they say it can make a sane man suicidal, suicide used to be listed as a side effect for treatment before it got just a little bit safer.

AND ANOTHER POINT ABOUT ME RECKLESS.

Do you even know how careful I am when it comes to foods and medications now.

I barely eat now because my anxiety makes me scared to eat anything. I have actually lost 10 pound instead of gaining weight which most people do on nardil.

People will bring me home thing to eat like chinese food.

But, I dont eat it, because I don't know if the food has soy, some cheese sauce, of beans that you can't eat.

Most people say you eat most cheese, especially the regular orange processed slices. American cheese, I heard of some even eating Swiss. But when I go out to eat a cheesburger, I make sure no matter what cheese it is that I order a cheesburger without the cheese. I just don't want to take a chance.

With meds too, I have extreme hemroids, and I just took back a hemroid med because it had a vasodialator in it.

I also bought a CUFF to measure my blood pressure, and I started getting OCD about it measuring it everyday.

I want a anti-hypertensive meds bad, I begged my doc to give me a anti-hyper med like Clonidine, but he said no I need to go to the hospital so they can supervise me.

Believe me, I am careful as can be, now. I don't want to upset other, but I heard here a guy even using cheedar cheese to raise his blood pressure because had bad hypotension, no to me that is reckless, but again I don't want to compare myself, or make others mad.

And Phillia, I am sorry but I am getting a lil tired of you being so concerned about my medical conditions, I know I have hep c and it is a horrible, horrible thing. I wish that I was not inflected with such a hard virus to get rid of, and I wish I did not have to take all these meds. Believe me I beat myself up about it all the time. When I first learned I had it, I thought it was the end of the world and felt like dying, and went out and did stupid things. My anxiety make me worry about my health to a unhealthy point. But, to everyone I am really trying to stay positive about this, I only had it for two year, and my enzymes are not that high yet, and have no scarring or anything like that. I just hope to god when and if my depression and anxiety goes away and I am allowed to be treated that they has a safer, more tollerable treatment.

TOO EVERYONE who care, and listens to my post..thank you very much. I am very young, and do not have that much communicaton with the outside world. I find it hard to talk, express myself, and make friends even on the internet chatting. I just want to feel like I belong here, like everyone else probably does.

MUCH love JNEW

Not meaning to offend at all Medline, as i know you are just trying to be helpful. But I think this was a bit of an oversimplification/ overgeneralization of jnew12's actions & intentions, especially in regard to the "always looking for new things to add" statement. Most of us here are often potentially interested in or looking for new things to add to our existing meds. Also, you certainly are entitled to believe and suggest that this person is being too reckless, but I think you could phrase it in a way that sounds less accusatory or critical. No offense at all, just wanted to let you know since i know you're intentions were good.

I accept your apology, and i'm sorry that you find me confusing, though, I wish I was more clear it might be my untreated inattentive add, due to MAOI treatment, before Nardil, I was treated with the stimulant Focalin.

And thanks for calling me nice I appreciate that a lot. You are nice yourself at times..lol

And you are extremely knowledge, I would say on the other board we post at, your one of the guys who knows his stuff the most.

Thank you.

Thank you so much Phillipa all though there was no need to appologize, I know your just are concerned. And at least you show some interest In my medication condition.

You seem to think my hepatitis c is very dangerous. You did not out right say that, but it makes me think that the way you post about it almost all my posts.

You know what though?? I don't know... you might know more than me about my condition, it could be very dangerous, especially in later stages where my liver could develop cirrhosis.

But from the little research I did on the internet, and what my doctors told me, I have many years before I even need interferon treatment.

My doctor even said that many people can live symptom free for years.

Other may develop symptoms like juandice, nausea, and it can even mimick other diseases.

But, like I said a lot of people live symptom free and usually develop it and sometimes don't find out until like 20 years, and they find out by accident like I did through routine blood tests.


Look at Pamela Anderson for example, she has hep c and she looks healthy as can be, she is just as popular as ever and even has new TV show. She said that she does not even want interferon, she is treating it through a Homopathic doctor who made a special cocktail for her, and on top of that she eats an all vegetarian diet.

You did say something that I was not really aware of the other day. You said something about my immune system is lowered because of it. And guess what you are absoulutley true. I went to the doctor a day after and he said the exact same thing! He gave me a flu shot because he said that because my immune system is compramised I guess I am more likley to catch other thing.. I don't know too much about that.

I wonder if there is something I can due to help boost my immune system. I am already taking a blend of vitamins, supplements, and herbs that I read are good for hep c patients. Most of it is found in a blend called SOURCE NATURALS, it's name is Liver Guard.. It has..

High Doses of Vitamin C
Pure Silymarin (from mile this seed extract)
Dandelion Root
Tumeric Rhizome Extract
Alpha Lipoic Acid
and
N-Acetyl Cysteine (which is used to reverse damage to the liver due to tylenol poisoning)
Plus many other Vitamins.

I also take Subligal Vitamin B,
licorice Root

(Which actually RAISE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE way more than salt pills!, for me it helps with the hypotension with nardil)

And..
Astragulus (strengthens the immune system)
and another supplement called Liver Aid, by LivRite
And Extra Mile Thisltle
I also was taking a Highly Studied, and effectice supplement that alot of body builder use to combat liver damge from anabolic steriods called Liv-52 (it's called that because it is the 52 formulation the dr's who made it came up with)
I stopped taking it because it was too expensive.

I have TONS of Sam-E Mood Plus, a store was closing and I grabbed up dozens of boxes of it for $2.00 each (originally $35.00)

There is some studies of it's effects on the liver, but I am afraid of Seretonin Syndrome, it has happened with SSRI's and TCA's. I was thinking about taking a low dose..but I don't want to get reckless..lol Oh well, the studies on the liver are effects are conflicting anyways.

I believe because the supplements I am taking are the reasons why ALT / AST is so low.

I am getting extensive blood test for Hep C coming up, that is testing for EVERYTHING... it is supposed to tell me what Strain I have I guess there is four different kinds of hep c, and some are harder to treat.

I can't now believe they have not told me this yet.. I have been through more than 30 blood tests easily.. And, also had 3 ultrasound on my liver (which came out normal)

If you want me to tell you the results of the test.. when I get it next week I will tell you if you want.

Anyways..

I guess I have to admit I do have a tenencies to get reckless..I know add can cause impusltivity, and sometimes I get moodswings that may be confused with bipolar. But, usually I am high dsythemic, and have low mood, and feel empty mostly.

I am actually am happy anyone that points it out for me. Sometimes I need to be checked, or I get into trouble. Depression has a powerful affect on the mind and judgement- and sometime I act out because lack of pleasure in my life -hence thats is why I used to heavy self medicate with drugs that did nothing but get me in trouble, with the law now I am paying out thousand of dollars, and I am on disability. It also ruined my relationship with my family (if the was one in the fist place), and most of all it ruined me. I beat myself up because I always feel like I am different and don't fit in, like I am on another level than people. I can be in a room full of people and feel alone. I have being so backwards, and I made of my past, especially drug abuse, I don't even want to think about the damage that it may of done to my mind.

I am going to stop ranting, I will save it for psychotherapy..lol

Anyways, thanks to the dr.bob family for the support, and you kindess.

Jnew.

P.S Sorry about the spelling and grammer. It is almost 6:00 and I have to be at school at 1:00. I got a lot of homework, and I am pulling an all nighter, the trouble is I can not stay focused on my work, and I keep on drifting off and going on the internet. I need to pull the the internet cord out!

I'd love to help you interpret the test. Wasn't a rant a well thought post I felt. And you're more aware of how meds can affect you and being young it's a hard thing to accept. On your side for sure. Love Phillipa
