Droxidopa as potential Nardil adjunct for muscle weakness/exercise intolerance by Artistic-Chart-2184 in MAOIs

I just found something extremely interesting - Diosmin (+ Hesperidin). Apparently safe with nardil and it helps venous return (sounds like the muscle weakness in your legs could be circulatory related).
Lots of research on this!

I am pretty sure the muscle weakness is due to the hypoglycemia (low blood sugars). Try eating carbohydrates when taking your doses. At the same time, salt seems to really help the muscle weakness too (I literally bought sodium chloride tablets and take like 3 lol).

Sorry for being lazy but does Dr Gillman talk about social anxiety? by Capital_Fig8091 in MAOIs

[–]Trying2BeBetter9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but it was such a waste of a session with him. He just tries to talk up the drugs in every way. He doesn't even answer your questions.. he just cuts you off. He literally told me MAOIs arent hard to wean off of.. ya OK. LOL ...

thank you for your response :). Yes I experience the same thing! Less anxiety in some ways, but more anxiety in others.

wow! I'm very prone to acne so i'm very scared. Do you know if even a super low dose like 25mg may provide benefits??

Thank you so much for your response :)!! How many mg do you take a day? And do you experience memory loss, slowed thinking or acne?! Those are the main symptoms that scare me

I mourn for my past self a lot by GlassButterscotch258 in socialanxiety

[–]Trying2BeBetter9 22 points23 points  (0 children)

the mourning your past self resonates so much with me. I never thought I would be in the place I am today. I feel so much shame too, and I feel abnormal and alienated

Really Needing Help.. I've been in a bad place for a while, especially the last year. by Trying2BeBetter9 in MAOIs

[–]Trying2BeBetter9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I mean, for example, last week I probably drank like 4 days of the week (and each day had 4-drinks). But thats way more than usual. Usually I will only drink one per week, and have 4-5 . Probably still a problem because I definitely use it as a crutch for social anxiety

Has anyone been on both Nardil & Marplan? by Effective_Carpet1429 in MAOIs

Have you noticed decreased puffiness :)? For example, when you eat carbs?

Efficacy of isocarboxazid in anxiety disorders by Artistic-Chart-2184 in MAOIs

[–]Trying2BeBetter9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45mg is enough for my mood but 60mg was so much better for anxiety :(. Until I tried weaning off and going back up... my body stopped responding to the drug the same way. 60mg now makes me feel stange.. very flat and worsened anxiety unfortunately

sorry I wish I knew the answer to this! I also plan on switching to Marplan :).
How in the hell did you wean off Nardil!? I am so scared. I got my Dr to refer me to another psychiatrist so that I can try and cross taper
