Does Nardil cause weight gain? Pls advise!

Posted by david maclean on July 15, 2003, at 23:18:06

My psych doc prescribed me Nardil (phenelzine). When I asked about weight gain she said she had not heard of Nardil being associated with weight gain.
But I thought that certian MAOIs and Nardil in particular were known to commonly cause noticeable weight gain. Maybe I got that wrong or is it true?
If I Google for this information I get rather inconclusive replies. There are references in Google to weight gain but those references seem to be the sort of thing which are only mentioned in passing.
Can someone comment on this PLEASE!
(1) How likely is weight gain with Nardil?
(2) How great might the weight gain be - as far as it is possible to say with such a variable thing?
Thank you.
David
