In reply to I'M BACK ... and 37 lbs. lighter on NARDIL, posted by UgottaHaveHope on May 29, 2007, at 2:24:33
Good on you Michael. I too stopped visiting PB because I was too busy working and getting on with life. Nardil has worked for me. It took 6-7 weeks and I'm now on 90mg (on the basis of 1mg per kg body weight and I felt I was sliding back a bit on 75mg). But you're heavier than me so I'm surprised 45mg is enough.
I've put on weight and I don't eat much. But I have what I suspect to be statin-related muscle pain so can't take any exercise at all. Nardil does cause me total lack of sexual feelings or ability. I'm hoping this will wear off as it did on a lower dose earlier. But as you say, to be almost totally free of depression and anxiety - it's worth the side effects. I say this as an older person who's already had children however. Loss of sexual function for a younger person could be disastrous especially as it can stop relationships in their tracks (I'm afraid). And relationships are good for psychic symptoms in my experience.
