In reply to What is the worst side effect from Nardil? HELP, posted by DoYouKnowHim? on July 24, 2005, at 3:09:58
Hey Do,
I have taken nardil on and off for 5 years. My side effects were ...
1. Weight gain 30 lbs
2. Sexual Dysfunction
3. Severe Insomnia
4. Memory Difficulties
5. Mild leg edemaOn the flipside, I was very outgoing and social. I still am not sure if I get mildly hypomanic on nardil (increased socialiblity, decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts) ... or maybe if *everyone* get mildly hypomanic on nardil (many people report insomnia, increased sociablity, memory problems-racing thoughts on nardil). The first MAOI was a iproniazid, also used for tuberculosis .... doctors noted that patients who took iproniazid were "dancing in the streets" and thus tried it as an antidepressant. Dancing in the streets ... slightly hypomanic? I don't know
