In reply to People on NARDIL......., posted by ross on May 14, 2002, at 21:35:38
Ross: I've been on Nardil (or Marplan) since l984.
It worked like a charm from the beginning, except for insomnia, which went away when I lowered the dose. At one point, I quit Nardil to try some other meds (which did not work) and had the inability to have orgasms when I started back up on Nardil. That went away within 3 months or so.
In general, MAOIs have been good meds for me.
I originally tried tricyclics (this was in l982)
but their sedative side effects were horrible.
My doctor wouldn't give me MAOIs (she was a Neandertal), but when I found an experienced psychiatrist, I was given that drug right away.
The only problem I have had with Nardil is that,
unfortunately, it stopped working after I was on it for 11 years. Now I am taking a whole combination of meds, including Nardil which I think continues to help me somewhat, just not nearly enough.
