Hi,
I was on Nardil and it helped me tremendously with depression. However I gained some 15-20 lbs on it. Nardil also gave me sleep problems. I switched to Parnate and the weight came right off. I don't notice it being an appetite suppressant though. In any case, I haven't gained any weight on Parnate.
Good luck to you.
Liz
