In reply to Any1 had the 'over-sweating' MAOI side effect b4?, posted by Enigma on September 14, 2007, at 11:19:59

...Enigma,
I have been on Nardil for most of the past ten years. I have taken time off for other medication trials, but this is the only med that works for my atypical depression and social anxiety.Currently I am taking quetiapine(Seroquel) for the insomnia. This is another atypical antipsychotic like Abilify but it really hits the histamine receptors even in low doses of 25 to 50mg. I tried Abilify once, it was the only med that has ever caused akathisa for me. I didn't last very long on it.
I'm not much help on the sweating. I have always sweated heavily and notice some increase on Nardil. I just stay hydrated and carry a towel. One thing Nardil has cured is the sweaty palms from social anxiety. Pre-Nardil I had to wipe my palms before I could shake somone's hand; now my palms don't sweat at all.
Be well,
Jedi
