> I have a question about nardil for all you champs and also anyone else using the drug successfully. How much weight do most people gain?
Some people none..others a little. But nowhere near that of Zyprexa. Weight gain is manageble too, with Nardil.
And (Okay I guess I have more than one question) how bad are sexual side effects?
Initially very bad...total inorgasmia (for a lot of us, at least), but they go in time. Also, there are drugs u can take to reverse these effects at the satrt of Nardil therapy...
What is the discontinuation syndrome if you stop taking it?
For me, a bit of insomnia and that was it. An i tapered down VERY fast. So do it slow and you should be OK. Its nowhere near as bad as SSRI withdrawal.
Do you get sick trying to start it?Maybe a little transigent nausea, but not a great deal.
(I get really sick starting and stopping SSRIs) What about low blood pressure? Can you still exercise?For sure!
Does nardil cause that thing that you fall asleep in the middle of the day like I've heard about with other MAOI's?No, but it can cause sedation, pronounced seadtion or insomnia in the first few weeks of treatment. I never have a sleep problem with Nardil.
Is the dosage really figured out by your weight?
Sort of. They state 1mg/1kg of weight. Well i'm 90kg now and on 60, and I notice no difference.
But I do think the minimum therapeutic dose is 60mg for 4 weeks. If this fails ram it up to 90mg...
