Hey guys been a while since i last posted, hope all is well. My question is with drugs like invega and lithium that are dopamine and serotonin antagonist( slows down or blocks the release of the neurotransmitters) could they possibly dampen the positive of effects of an antidepressant like nardil?

Im on lithium and invega in addition to nardil and although the nardil is working decent definitly not as good as before the lithium was added. My theory is that by coming off of the lithium and invega that will allow the release of more nuerotransmitters, which in addition to higher levels of them, will lead to better results from the nardil, what do guys think? Plus the lithium has a flattening effect that i dont like.
 
Nardil is a tricky one.
The tolerance builds very very rapidly
I noticed I felt on top of the world the first 2 weeks then it tapered to nothing
Maybe your Nardil tolerance built up too fast
