I've started Nardil and been on ~45mg for ~1 month. It drys out my eyes a lot, to the point where there are dark circles and wrinkles under my eyes. It dries out my skin and gives my face a red, dry look rather than a healthy glow. I look haggard, it's bad.
Other side effects worry me as well. I notice increases pressure in the back of my neck and some mild but persistant headaches. Worse, I feel constantly fatigued and I feel my mind is slowed down - I can't think as quickly or wrap my head around difficult problems. My memory also seems worse. Insomnia is worsening.
I notice the drug is kicking in and starting to provide some good relief from social anxiety and depression. However, these side effects are terrible. Can I expect these to go away - they are just getting worse so far. Does anyone else have these?
I can't expect to keep my job or be satisfied with my appearance if these side effects continue. If they only go away partially, that's not good enough, these sides are bad enough for me to quit Nardil.
