I also think that Nardil may have damaged my memory and, even though i felt extremely confident, i never felt that the confidence was real. I felt that the pill was causing a small degree of mania in me. (though it felt great)
> What are your side effects from Nardil?Hi There
My side-effects were
-anorgasmia (went away after 4 mos. although it takes longer to reach orgasm than previous, I am able too though...Maybe I won't be called the 30 second man)
-weight gain (worst s/e)
-increased appetite (carb/sweet foods)
-dizziness (only occasionally now)
-fatigue (about 2-3x a week I get tried in the evening and kind of zone out - try to drink a glass of coke or cup of coffee)Pretty much those being the worse of the s/e's...
I understand about what you say of confidence not being real but when you had very little before, real or not I will take it :)
Social Anxiety is so much worse than dealing with the side/effects
During my brief stint off Nardil I lost about 10 lbs... now my goal is to closely monitor any weight gain and eat extremely healthy and fight the carb cravings.....
