> The thing I've noticed so far is that my appetite has changed dramatically. While on Nardil, I was obsessed with anything that had carbs and was sweet. Right now I can't think too much of those things and feel more like having something sour, like limes, and something fresh like strawberries! I wouldn't have my usual peanut butter & honey sandwich that became the staple of my diet while on Nardil. I would simply crave those sandwiches, and would eat bananas like a maniac.It was like that for me too...had no interest in eating a pound of chocolate at night or whatever I could get my hands on. I take 25 mg of seroquel at bed and I have to watch the sweet cravings with that. If I stay up after I take it I get the extreme munchies.
> Anyway, what medication did you take after Nardil, and did it work? Thanks!
I've just started Parnate...so far, so good. Parnate doesn't make me crave carbs or sweets. Good side effect!
