I've been on nardil for almost 4 months. 60 mgs the past 6 weeks. It has helped my anxiety, but hasn't helped with social or depression issues. I really had hoped it would.
Is it worth it to try to go up to 90 mg or do you think I've given it enough time and it just doesn't work for me? I still have very bad myoclonic jerks and muscle twitching, but some of the other initial side effects have abated.
Btw, I tried to withdraw and got really sick, and extremely emotional. That kind of scares me. There isn't an addiction thing with this is there? I know that may be a stupid question, but I'm a little freaked out.
I'm ashamed to tell you that I drank beer on Nardil and had a horrible episode. I completely blacked out, have no memory for hours, and yet I was doing things - apparently very aggressive things.

I would try going up to 90mg if your PDoc allows. What is there to lose? Also, some say that body weight / 2 is the correct amount. So if you're around 180lb then 90mg would be about right according to this rationale.
