Hi Tepi.

Your experience with coming off of Nardil and feeling better is not rare. It is called a rebound improvement. It can last 1-3 weeks. Some people actually become manic during this time for whom mania is not a regular feature of their disorder. I had this reaction myself.

The next time you come off of Nardil, try staying at 30mg and see what happens. You probably won't feel perfect, but you may retain enough of a partial improvement to justify continuing with it.

What's the deal with Parnate? How did you react to it?

Nardil + Zyprexa felt pretty good to me. I later changed over to Abilify, and felt even better. While it is true that Abilify can produce anxiety and insomnia in the beginning, these things can often disappear within 2 weeks. Now, I have no anxiety, no feelings of doom, and no suicidality.

Low-dose 25-100mg per day of Seroquel helps people with anxiety as taken 25mg PRN. If you take more than 100mg per day, you can become dysphoric and possibly have your anxiety get worse.

I saw a guy with tremendous anxiety react better to a drug called Phenergan (promethazine)than to Zyprexa.
