In reply to Does Nardil cause weight gain? Pls advise!, posted by david maclean on July 15, 2003, at 23:18:06

> If I Google for this information I get rather inconclusive replies. There are references in Google to weight gain but those references seem to be the sort of thing which are only mentioned in passing.

You may notice a increase in diet, especially for carbs...... I have been able to fight the cravings and keep my weight the same for several months now. At first I overate like a pig because I wasn't use to gaining weight. I gained 20 pounds but then lost 15 when I came off Nardil and have been able to maintain it by not eating junknick
