I have been on 20mg parnate for 10 days and just on my second day of 30mg. I’m so depressed I can barely function, ketamine does nothing for me any more, and I’m worried I’m never going to get better. someone tell me things will improve. hopefully sooner rather than later.
for the first ~3-4 years on Nardil, I didn't just have less social anxiety, I also had a tremendous amount of confidence and extroverted energy. the feeling was that of being my absolute best self in a crowd. I was quite literally the center of the party.
now, at 5.5 years into treatment, reduced social anxiety remains but the confidence is all but gone.
to posit an oversimplified theory: I'm assuming it's a dopaminergic phenomenon, as along with the reduction in confidence has come a reduction in motivation. I used to want to interact with new people all the time. now, I'm often more motivated to do work or game alone than interact.
has anyone managed to get this social confidence from early treatment back? and, how did you do it?
Hi guys, I ran out of parnate. Im from London. I usually get it from the Indian place that Ken Gilman had recommended on his site but I forgot to order my refill in time, and I estimate that my new order will come in 10 days. So Il be without parnate for 10 days. Dont know what to do guys, panicing. Already missed my second dose today. Its literally the second week of uni (now the weekend) for me now. I absolutely do not want to get symptons like higher anxiety, depression starting to coming back etc from having missed dose, when its a vital time in my first year in uni. What can I do guys????
Edit: if anyone is from the UK and takes parnate and can tide me over for a few days, please message me
TW: life in danger from depression/anxiety
I've tried to quit twice and both times became dangerous because my thoughts were too dark. The first time I was on diazpam but it wasn't enough. The second time I tried to reduce much more slowly but it still became dangerous.
Is there anything else I can take at the same time to stop the depression and anxiety from putting me in danger? Of course I would take any advice to my psychiatrist first.
I want to quit moclobemide because I have a desease that Wellbutrin could help.
Curious if anyone has tried a medication they found to be as effective as, or close to, Nardil for treating generalized anxiety and/or social anxiety. From what I’ve seen, clonazepam appears to be one of the few medications that has come close in clinical trials, with paroxetine showing somewhat less impressive but still decent efficacy.
I’d be interested to hear about anyone’s personal experiences with alternatives that have worked particularly well.
Does nardil potentiate parnates stimulant effect? The half life?
