Nardil Weight Gain

Posted by cosis on November 29, 2002, at 0:34:42

Hi All

I read on the board a lot of people having a problem with gaining weight on Nardil. I myself have gained about 15 pounds since taking it.. mostly I think it was due to overeating lots of sweets and carbs..

Has anyone had little or no experience with the weight gain on Nardil, or someone who has and was able to loose it give me some tips? Right now I cut back to 2200 daily calories and work out cardio 25 minutes, weights 40 minutes 3 times a week. This is my first week and I lost 1.5 pounds..

Thanks
Nick

My understanding is that it isn't uncommon for people to have weight gain with Nardil. One of the reasons my doctor put me on Parnate was because I have weight problems. Since I've been on Parnate I've lost a lot of weight. It really helps with my appetite and food obsessions. It has also helped with my mood which helps my food issues as well. Not sure if you could switch to Parnate and have similar positive mood effects as with Nardil. It may be worth asking your doctor though if weight is an issue with you.

I only lose weight when I cut back to 1000calories. Talk about a major low metabolism!!!!! Plus i do 90min of cardio 4times a week, that's 36miles. I'm going for losing 8lbs in two weeks.
