> Did the sexual dysfunction ever lessen at all?
Not for me. It lessened when I started trazodone for sleep. Trazodone I believe is a selective serotonin agonist, 5HT-2 receptor. But I also lost the antidepressant effect.
I also tried lowering the dose and adding lamitical. Not much help either.
> Did the weight gain ever stabilize?
I went from 180 to 225-220. I could stay at 215 if I drank simply water and diet soda with my sensible meals. I just got these crazy carbohydrate craving .... if I dieted in three days I would need to eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. I would wake up with hunger pains.
1 - Nardil caused you memory problems?
Well, some minor memory problems .... but this was incombination with 0.5 of klonopin which contributed as well. Just forgot little things, like the names of people in a movie I just saw, studing was alittle harder.
2 - What drug or drug cocktails are you currently taking that isn't doing the job for you?
Since I have try so many antidepressants without luck with the exception of nardil and I have features of atypical depression, I thought it maybe possible I have mild bipolar features. So I am trying lithium still with 0.5 klonopin. Not much help either.
