> ShayDon't give up on the Nardil yet, your pattern is pretty typical at this point (Many have a blip of effectiveness for the first few weeks). You need 2 months to know whether or not a particular dose will work for you.
As for the poop out, I have no idea why it happens, but many here can empathize with you. Seems like there are feedback loops in your brain that do a good job of returning you to your natural mood. Have you done any CBT?

That's what I also think the brain says oh Goody Goody someone is giving me what I need so I will be lazy and produce none. Phillipa

hi phillipa.
so it is just a tolerance like for a coffe ?
any soultions ? suffer the same ?I think that i can stop the nardil and give my lazy brain (: 3 weeks to rest and than come back and get another 21 shiny days.
secondly if it is going to happen on any drug on this market,maybe the soultion is ect? because it more physical and nothing will pop out...
what about aderal 3 times a week to get no tolerance but still some good days ?
any other things that can help , maybe something alternative ?
do you suffer the same problem?
i cried all day.
i think depression is much easier than cancer...
yours

Pretend you have a cup in your hands and you fill it to the brim with water. The cup is the medicationa nd the water your illness. What happens if you pour any more water in? It overflows. If you become too sick, the medicine can not work too cover the overflow.
With Nardil, most people find it works best at 60 mg. Talk to your doctor about raising the dose.
