> > Hello,
> > I am on 60 mg of Nardil and have been for several months. If I'm not on 60, I take 45 mg. My usual side effect profile includes hyperreflexia, mild urinary retention, and occasional insomnia. I have had the following side effects, but they have since gone away: anorgasmia, constipation, myoclonic jerks, and "nardil shuffle" (only lasted 2-3 days).

> > Lately, I have had a few incidents when I get out of my car. I start to walk and notice two things: my ears feel clogged and are ringing slightly, and my legs feel heavy and weak. I do not feel like I am going to pass out...no narrowing of vision or lightheadedness. I do feel as if I can't keep walking if the symptoms keep up, as I feel too weak in the legs. And the ear thing is quite odd.

>I have fell asleep behind the wheel also, luckily my sister was with me and woke me up at the time.... I find that part the most scary... but now whenever I feel like I might fall asleep while driving I stop and get out and walk around and then I am good to go
