In reply to Nardil and WEIGHT GAIN, posted by Jumpy on January 4, 2003, at 20:32:28
Hey Clay,
Just alittle more. I usually don't complain about side effects. I used Lithium/Imipramine for 1 year with mild weight gain, tremor, dry mouth, sedation, constipation, etc. and didn't complain. But nardil makes being a 20 or 30 year old soooo difficult. A typical night for me is meet friends, refuse tap beer that someone bought me (hypertensive crisis), suck in my gut all night, meet women but have no interest because of the lack of libdo, call everyone "hey" because I forget peoples names, run to the corner deli for some junk food because my blood sugar has dropped, stay out late and need to stay over friends house- toss and turn all night because of the insomnia. Stop by the emergency room periodically to get my blood pressure checked to make sure I am not having a hypertensive crisis. And forget when I have a girlfriend .... try to explain the impotence, weight gain, insomnia ... that is impossible. I have had 3 relationships break up because of all the side effects of nardil.
So how did you make it through your 20's and 30's on nardil? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jumpy
