> Hey Pete, I'm in sort of a similar situation as you. I started taking Nardil like two months ago for atypical depression/dysthymia. While I was on 45mg I had a few days of horrid suicidal thoughts which I never had before. Pure horror. But they did pass. I like how someone mentioned in reply to your post that depression is indeed fluid.
Moods change. Two bad days feels like they will last forever, but moods ebb and flow and the pressure let's go a little bit over time.Hi mate, I agree that depression ebbs and flows but this was black and white. Bang - horrifying fear, bang - gone. Not the usual ups and downs of life with depression for me.

> Well, now I've moved up to 60mg and I still feel the mild depression/low-grade constant sadness, no pleasure or joy that has ruled most of my last 12 years. It's not horrible or disabling, but it is suffering nonetheless.for sure. No-one should have to experience that, it needs sorting out if possible. You shouldn't have to live with it.
> I truly hoped Nardil would finally conquer it. My doctor may raise the dose to 75mg as I am about 155-160 lbs. And I pray that will happen.
How long have you been on Nardil? I'm sure you're aware of how long it can take to kick in. How long have you been on 60mg (the dose I assume you are on) ?
> I have so much life to live and enjoy. I just want to be able to live fully and be able to enjoy it.
And you should be able to achieve that (easy for me to say now I don't feel desperately low at the moment). I don't know your background but I'm sure there must be some routes you have yet to try?
> The last week I have been feeling a lot lower because a woman I started dating is not responding back to me.
That's all you need, women trouble... You'll not be receiving any good advice from me, trust me!

> Try finding a university-affiliated psychiatrist. Or a psychopharmacologist -- no therapy doc. You should have no problem being in NYC.Yep, that's the plan. Just not sure how to go about it or what insurance they take. I guess I'll have to find out should my pdoc stick to his guns.
