In reply to Anyone on Nardil Side Effect Free?, posted by kara lynne on January 29, 2003, at 22:34:27
> I'm planning to start Nardil in one week and I'm beginning to obsess about the possible side effects. In particular I am hearing a lot about edema and weight gain. Is this a foregone conclusion--does everyone experience it to some degree or another, or have some of you out there escaped these tragic flaws altogether?
I have personally experienced very little weight gain. I'be been on it short of 9 weeks. Lately my appetite for sweets has increased heaps, although. I've heard of people who lose weight on Nardil, or don't gain it, so you could be OK. You might just have to watch your diet and exercise. Easy. As for the other side effects, I've experience heaps -- just about every one. Nardil is worth it. The s/effects don't bother me too much (except anorgasmia -- If that doesn't pass soon I'll be taking Bethanacol for it) Just keep a lookout for s/effects and know that you can always do things about them. Like I've said in another post, I would have athousand s/effects for the benefit Nardil gives me.
Also, has anyone who experienced a lot of side effects with other meds (along with them being ineffective) been able to tolerate Nardil? Thanks for your input.
