I was going to post something about StarGazer's post, which struck me as being a pretty wide ranging generalization. StarGazer's experience was that she ate more, etc. That doesn't mean it happens for everyone. It might not happen at all for you.
It's worth looking at the potential benefits, as well as the potential drawbacks. You know that this drug can cause weight gain, so you can walk into a trial of it with that warning, and some coping mechanisms in place if you do get an urge to binge. Sometimes knowing that the possibility is there helps avoid it.
As for why Nardil causes weight gain, that has a very complex answer. It involves neurochemistry, histimine, flying monkeys, and I could try to explain it, but then I'd have to wake everyone up afterwards, so I'll shut up now... (You might post about that on the new Neurotransmitter board, though, since that's what the explanation entails.)
