Speaking of weight gain on Nardil, Ace (the Nardil Champ!), I just had an MAOI discussion with my new pdoc and I'm pretty dumbfounded by what he said.
He claims to have prescribed Nardil to a number of patients, yet he had no idea what I was talking about when I said that I had heard that Nardil can cause weight gain. He said that as far as he knew, Nardil was "weight neutral." I have read dozens of self-reports from Nardil takers and the vast majority seem to report weight gain as a major issue. How is it that this guy who claims to have a ton of experience with Nardil has no idea that Nardil can cause weight gain!??!?
