Oh, and another thing I should mention... the fatigue is mostly gone too. And I sleep an average of 7 hours a night, with little trouble falling into slumberland. However, I've noticed that if I take the Nardil on a full stomach I often get sleepy and have to take a nap. If I take the Nardil on an empty stomach I seldom have fatigue issues. Also, for me, the medication seems to work better when I take take it in five separate doses throughout the day, with three hours between each dose; ie, 75 mgs = 5 pills, 1 pill taken every three hours. It's kind of a pain in the *ss to do it this way, but I carry a little pill box around with me in my pocket, and each morning I place 5 pills into it. Then I use my cell phone alarm to remind me when to take each dose.
A side effect that I still have from the drug is profuse sweating from my forehead when I'm standing out in the heat or when I eat a hot meal. It doesn't happen all the time however, and I do wonder if it may have something to do with the fact that I smoke nearly 2 packs of cigarettes a day. And strangely enough I have a tendency to smoke three times as much as I did before I started Nardil. I'm trying my damndest to quit but whenever I do manage to quit for a few days I find myself taking it up again the minute I'm around a friend who happens to be smoking.
In any case, Nardil is by far the most effective medication for me--and I've tried nearly all of them over the past 11 years. Where before starting Nardil I couldn't hardly make eye contact with anyone, now I can stare into anyone's eyes for as long as I want to without flinching. In the past I never had success with women--now I just stare deep into their eyes and flash a little grin and the women are all over my nuts.
