> Thanks to you both, Philipa and Jedi. Given the amount of weight I have likely lost due to exercise, we're talking in excess of 15 lbs of water retention. Do you know of anything I can do about that or is this one of those Nardil side-effects that goes away over time?

> thanks!Hi again,
Since Nardil decreases vitamin B6 and low B6 can cause edema; maybe a B6 supplement would help. I haven't really researched this, but I do have some of the symptoms of B6 deficiency. "Specifically, clinical studies have shown the benefits of vitamin B6 in treating:
autism
carpal tunnel syndrome
asthma
endometriosis
premenstrual syndrome
edema
atherosclerosis
acne
attention deficit disorder
schizophrenia
clinical depression"Good luck,
