Re: Update on Nardil, ten days in

Re: Update on Nardil, ten days in
The initial nardil euphoria I felt has now worn off and I can definately say that although it is working on my depression it is NOT working on my SA.

Re: Update on Nardil, ten days in
I think the depression lifting has enabled me to be more sociable. I'm not sure if there is an effect solely on SA, its hard to split the two. I'm just feeling so much better i'm able to socialise...

Re: Update on Nardil, ten days in
Its been six weeks and nardil is proving to be a very good antidepressant. Also i'm naturally being more sociable. I'm not sure if that is due to not feeling depressed and therefore feeling more able...

Nothing to say
I used to feel like I was bursting with things to say, if only it wasn't for having SA. These days I don't have anything to say, my head is fairly empty. Does anyone else have empty head syndrome?
