I had zero side-effects on Nardil except for orthostatic hypotension (which was very mild and quite tolerable). Parnate made me really sleepy during the day and caused some insomnia, but no other adverse effects. SSRIs and tricyclics, on the other hand, gave me all kinds of nasty side-effects.
> Let's face it ALL MAOI's have mega side effects. I have never heard of or met one person who was on Nardil or Parnate (Two of the most effective MAOI's which are both power house AD's) that didn't have very troubling side effects, i.e. insomnia, fatigue, weight gain, hypotension, dizziness, night jerks, ears ringing, and many more. They are so effective for depression, anxiety, social anxiety, but who can live with the side effects. I tried but couldn't!
