I didn't know Nardil causes bad cycling? I think someone
said that it raises the seizure threshold. It has a metabolite
that goofs with Gaba Transaminase (thus increasing Gaba).BTW, I've heard sparse reports of neurontin contributing to anorgasmia.
Good Luck,

I was having horrible irritability and agitation so my doc has added risperdal which helped me sleep the first day but not since then. I am still on depakote and neurontin as well and I could try moving the depakote. Interestingly, the neurontin gave me some definite insomnia (I take 3600mg) before I started Nardil and sometimes I wonder if it isn't the culprit. However, just on Neurontin I'd have trouble getting to sleep but would stay asleep. Now on Nardil I have trouble falling and staying asleep, but I suppose the neurontin can't be helping things. It's not providing any therapeutic benefit so I'm going to ask my doc about getting rid of it. I wonder if this goes away with time... that would be nice :)
