> 1) How long did you take Nardil?
8 weeks.> 2) What was the highest dose taken?
75mg> 3) Why did you stop the medication(If you stopped)?
Mainly insomnia that was resistant to everything. I did experience many other side-effects as well.> 4) Which were your worst side effects?
Insomnia, sexual dysfunction, dry mouth, weight gain, memory problems...> 5) How much time to kick in (at what dose)?
4 to 6 weeks before I started to feel an effect. Clinical trials show double the effect of 6 weeks at 12 weeks.> 6) why did you used it to?
social anxiety disorder, atypical depression, etc...> 7) How was your life , before and after Nardil?
Nardil did seem to change me but not enough to justify the side-effects. I've found Paxil CR just as effective with fewer side-effects.> 8) IS it difficult to follow the diet?
It depends on you. I like better not having to worry about my diet now, though.> 9) How many hypertensive crisis did you have?
None.> 10)Did you use any other drug together with nardi
Both yes and no.> 11) How do you compare nardil with others drugs that you have taken before
My opinion is it can't be compared.The one thing I would warn you about is withdrawal. You may not experience it, but the withdrawal I had from Nardil was the worst I've ever had and I tapered slowly. The other thing is the inconvenience of a failed Nardil trial. The washout periods can be very difficult, but then, if you don't try Nardil you won't know.
