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.

> Thanks for your response, cosis. Yikes, I'm glad you are able to catch that feeling before you get into trouble with the car. I haven't had anything like that, but I do find that in the evenings right after dinner (I take 3rd dose at 6:00 pm) I get unbearably sleepy a lot. If I go ahead and doze, then my sleep is of course messed up later in the night.

> Can't say that I've had any zoning out experiences. About your ear thing...did it happen early with taking Naril or later. I've been on it for about 9 months now, I think. It's odd to develop a side effect that late...at least it seems odd. Also, did your ears feel clogged like a pressure/altitude change or a cold? Or just ringing?

It is sorta hard to remember, I think it was kind of like the feeling your ears get during an altitude change. It was probably sometime during the later part of the first year in taking Nardil. But yes it did go away, I can't remember the last time it happened to me. I find it very easy to fall asleep on Nardil, even just when I am sitting in my office chair and dose off. I use to have trouble sleeping because I could never stop thinking before I went to bed but now I do not think nearly as much and usually fall asleep very quickly..........
