Hi,
When I first started Nardil I had some orthostatic hypotension but that was one side effect that went away pretty much completely with time. In fact Nardil seems to help control my borderline hypertension and has kept me off the beta-blockers. Usually my normal BP on Nardil is about 132/78 which is OK for an obese man of 280 Lbs. Some of the weight was put on because of the atypical depression, but a lot was due to medication. I thought I had the insomnia under control, but since adding the Omega-3s: EPA/DHA of 2000/1600mg I've been fighting it again. I'm pretty sure the insomnia will go away again in time. Anyway, I've reduced my Nardil from 90mg to 75mg. I'll see how that does. Has anybody found a medication to help with the carb cravings on Nardil. The only thing that has helped me is intense exercise, and I don't always have the two hours per day to get this done.
