oops i meant to post this- I started taking nardil 30mgs about 7 days ago and I am floored in a daze. I have almost no concentration or focus. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this maybe just a side effect that I need to ride out for another week and it will fade? any suggestions?

________________I started Nardil about 20 days ago, and have been in a mental daze, which is almost a tactile sensation in my head. It is very strange, and both focus and motivation are reduced.
I reduced my dose from 45mg/day to 15mg, but am uncertain about whether this has helped. Nardil also makes me weary.
The only other thing I know is that I experienced much the same when I took the MAOi Deprenyl (EMSAM/Selegiline) at high doses.
I wish I knew whether this side-effect is normal, whether it will pass, or any other information.

> DeclanHi,
Up to 20mg per day, deprenyl had few side-effects. I moved up to 30, and found myself in the same "brain fog" that I experienced with Nardil, as well as, possibly, some weariness. I tentatively hypothesized that it was the onset of significant MAO A inhibition that did it, but who knows.

Yes, that's what I'd have thought too. If that's so you don't have to inhibit a great % of it to get the fatigue.....that starts straight away on Parnate, I think.

Hi,
I felt more depressed than ever sometimes on Nardil, I rang my brother and he told my mum I sounded drunk as my speech was so slurred. I also remember just wanting to lie down all the time on it, couldn't muster up a smile if I tried. I gave up on it after a month and it's put me off MAOIs for good. I think I might have started on too high a dose though in my inpatience to feel better.
