I was thinking about moving my Nardil dosage to at night before bed, instead of 30 MG at 9 AM, and the other 30 MG at 2PM. My only question is I am a chronic Ambien user, I usually take 20mg a night to fall asleep, now if I move the Nardil to before bed, could the Ambien somehow interact badly with the Nardil since its taken roughly within the same time?

I don't know for sure. However, there is no problem with adding a benzodiazepine like Ativan or Klonopin to Nardil.

I was pondering the same question, as I'm to see my pdoc in a week and want to pose the same question to him. Going to once daily would simplify my regimen somewhat, and being that the MAO sites are irreversibly inhibited with Nardil, it shouldn't matter to achieve the anti-depressive effects what time of the day you take it. Guess one would only know by trying. I'm not on a sleeping agent right now per se, though I take Neurontin 1,600 mg three times a day, and that likely helps me sleep well at night.

Nardil does other things, too.
