I hope you will allow me to use your alias to direct this note to. I am guilty of using one of those quick-fix lines when I didn't want to bore everyone with all the details. I am sorry-I shouldn't have done it.
What happened to me when I was taking Nardil was that I began to get tremors in my arms and jerks in my legs; these symptoms kept getting worse, until I was continuously having what is know as myoclonic movements. I was unable to function, and the next step most likely would have been a seizure or seizures. My doctors thought it was probably Seretonin Syndrome. Since the next step was that serious and further steps coma, and death, I did not have anymore choice but to stop the Nardil so it could leave my system as rapidly as possible.
We are each unique individuals and have to have our meds tailored to our specific body metabolism. Just when we think we have the right answer, our body alters. I somehow started to retain too much seretonin.
I am also sorry I waited so long to answer your post, but I have had a series of Migraines [which incidently, were almost totally stopped by Nardil] and so I am incapicitated from 5-7 days at a time. I know being on the computer causes me to have them sometimes, so I stay off for awhile and then I'm back again.
