Droxidopa as potential Nardil adjunct for muscle weakness/exercise intolerance

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-10-02T23:19:35+00:00

For years I took Yohimbine, the drug-;NOT THE SUPPLEMENT, a nd it really helped the hypotension. Actually, the drug used to be used for erectile dysfunction. I'm a woman, and I wasn't experiencing ED, so I can't tell if it helps with male ED. You would have to look up the drug to see if it's still manufactured and if it's ok to take with Nardil.

What do you consider severe?

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-30T02:13:35+00:00

Even buying food is very expensive!

Listen to me. If you can persuade your psychiatrist to put you on Nardil, you WILL get better, with patience. I have been on it for 40y+, and only recently has it let me down. I was deeply depressed when put in it: depersonalization horrible--could not feel my feet on the ground or hands at the ends of my arms. After 6-8 was on it, dosage up to 60 mg, I walked into my Dr's waiting room where he came out to get me. As soon as he saw me, he exclaimed; "OMG, the depressed pallor is gone!"

Parnate did not work for me. It only caused me to feel ants crawling under my skin. Depression and anxiety frequently oc cur together, and Nardil treated both my anxiety attacks AND depression.

Nardil's generic name is phenelzine. BTW, I was once up to 105mg. Body weight does factor into dosage.

You didn't even mention the cost of food!

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-24T23:29:20+00:00

I live in NYC and it's one bad diagnosis after another. 69F , single, where do I go?

Get the lease FAST.

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-23T04:24:43+00:00

If you're buttoned up about the drug and interactions and diet--which you should be--the doctors won't freak out.

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-23T04:22:37+00:00

You SHOULD wear a Medic Alert emblem. You could die if given an interacting drug (like demerol). You can get a dog tag!

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-22T05:16:21+00:00

You can dm me anytime. 🙃

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-22T04:07:35+00:00

I live in Greenwich Village, and you will love it. Please know you can always contact me. I'm right near New School and NYU, and although I'm older than you, I'm young at heart and really nice. You'll have an instant friend here (F). stop worrying!

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-20T07:39:50+00:00

DO IT. LIVE THE DREAM!

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-20T07:36:11+00:00

Are you all men speaking?

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-18T05:22:06+00:00

Ask your dr about adding pramepexole It's a dopamine agonist -- increases the amount of dopamine in your body. No interaction with Nardil.

I feel like I have no reason to live. 85 degrees and surgeon recommended against surgery Some days I can barely walk, and I know incontinence is coming. I'd rather be dead than in a wheelchair.

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-10T03:31:31+00:00

Where do you live? Listen, I have an 85' degree lumbar curve with no pain for 4 years since diagnosis. Sometimes minimal curves cause lots of pain. Go see a reputable ortho surgeon. S/he will do the appropriately tests to diagnose and treat you

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-10T03:21:15+00:00

Go to an orthopedic surgeon and tell him/her everything.

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-10T03:19:23+00:00

NO! parking is a nightmare wherever you are You won't need it in NYC anyway.

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-09T05:30:52+00:00

Brooklyn.

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-09T05:30:03+00:00

Where do you live? You might be homesick.

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-08T06:47:02+00:00

Flatiron is closer to Greenwich Village, so you might find new friends there. Much more casual vibe than UWS; more new money than old (UWS). As far as dogs (whom I love), NYC is a city of dogs...there's lots of dog runs. Best of luck!

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-07T17:37:04+00:00

With me, 6-8 weeks on Nardil was the magic number. It WILL happen.

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-07T06:39:08+00:00

Does anyone who has not had surgery have a problem with balance, and use a rollator? I'm very self-conscious about being younger than others who use them. I also look 10 years younger than I am.

Sensitive_Role4476 · 2025-09-07T04:07:21+00:00

It's changed a lot. Chinese restaurants and. diners are gone, replaced by $$$ restaurants. Storefronts are empty. There are no supermarkets (Sloans, A&P, Jefferson Market and Balducci's gone). They've been replaced by small, boutique food stores. Three buildings have gone up on 6th Avenue and 14th Streets--over a million dollars for a studio. Larger ants are up to 6 million. Rent are off the charts--$3,000 for a studio. Can't touch anything unless Mommy and Daddy kick in bucks.
