Side effetcs don't really phase me, but I had many with Nardil.
Honestly, I can't remenber at what stage/dose for all but here were some
1 NO INSOMINIA except the VERY 1st night and one night when I went up to 120mg. 2 days out of 5 days treatment is great!
2. In early therapy, increased sexual desire then later less desire.
3. Constipation which finally cleared up after 4 months.
4. Extreme sedation from first 5 or so days on 90mg.
5.First 2 weeks of treatment - extreme cognitive dysfunction.
6. Inorgasmia which was never cleared up. (But i took Bethenachol 40mg with some success sometimes)
7. Early in therapy, lack of appetite, then later stimulation of appetite, esp for sweets.
8. Weight gain - a bit of a tubby belly but nothing too bad. It's not like I was 'fat' but just had a 'pot belly'.
Don't let these frighten you. To be honest none really bothered me except the inorgasmia. And the weight gain is nothing like for a drug such as Zyprexa.The s/effects are a small price to pay considering the brilliance of Nardil's AD effects.
All the very best. Any larification or further qstns please wright.
Take Care mate,
Ace.
