The difficulty with Nardil is the weight gain and sexual dysfunction side effects that are prevalent. Were these a problem for you?

Why did you stop taking Nardil? I took it for four months before it finally became completely inactive. While it was working, it was amazing. Quite the social lubricant! Have you found a suitable replacement? Nothing i tried since, which covers just about every AD out there, has worked even remotely for me. I tried Nardil again years later, but to no avail. Thanks in advance.
