GG, are you taking Lithium and Nardil now? Why was Lithium added?
I'm on 45 mg so I got the ankle swelling before the 60 mg you had it at. I'm going to try some natural rememdies like vitamins and other suggestions I hear of. The ankle exercises I've been doing. Last night my abdomen also looked swollen and I hadn't weighed myself so I don't know how much, if any, weight I've gained since I started Nardil. I guess weighing oneself before starting any medication is the only way(weigh) to know it's affect on weight. No AD's have given me this side effect beforeandwhen I saw my ankles, or lack thereof, I said, Oh no, here we go again, so it was quite a surprise. I have no other medical issues that lead me to believe it's anything more than a water imbalence and I need to figure out how to reduce it in the most natural way, like vitamins, herbs or something to that effect. I'll let you know if I find anything to help me. I have to be careful with diuresis as I also have hypotension and with Nardil's reduction on BP, any additional reduction due to increased urination could be problematic.
Thanks for all your advice......Stargazer
