In reply to Nardil -) weight loss?, posted by maoi_wowee on July 4, 2008, at 19:22:10
> Can I expect to lose weight fairly rapidly now that I am off of Nardil or is it just back to the regular old metabolism as before?
I lost the weight pretty fast the first time I went off Nardil, but I typically lose weight when I'm depressed. The second time I switched to, I think, Marplan, and I didn't lose the weight; unfortunately, I'm still overweight. If I went off all meds that would probably be an effective diet plan, but much too painful!
As far as weight gain, the MAOI that I found caused the least was selegiline. I haven't gained weight on Parnate, but I haven't been able to lose the weight I gained on Nardil/Marplan either.
Best of luck to you!
