From everything I have and from talking with others, it seems that Nardil weight gain is a problem for about half of those who take it. And half of those who take it say it is because they get "carb cravings" or incredible hunger pains. Ive been on Nardil for a week, and I have had the hunger, but I counter it by drinking a lot of water. I also have tried to eat a healthy diet and also continue exercising. Ive lost weight.
I dont think I would worry about Nardil weight gain. I would worry about feeling better, which makes Nardil well worth the trial. And there is also the possibility of augmenting to Nardil with Provigil, which seems to be like a stimulant and really helps in keeping the weight off.
I encourage you to try Nardil, Parnate and Emsam (the last two have no reputation for weight gain for the masses, although there are some on here who have gained wght on Parnate). Every med affects everyone differently and you never know until you try.
Find reasons to try a drug, not to not try it. Please keep us posted on what you decide to do. Best wishes, Michael
