Nardil cognitive side effects- zero memory

Posted by n_wolfie on February 19, 2009, at 23:23:37

I've been on Lamicatal 500 mg for a few mos. It was working wonderfully, then it stopped, I became depressed again, so my doctor started me on Nardil, which had worked in the past with the Lamictal, so well in fact that we discontinued the Nardil. I'm into my second week of 30 mg Nardil, and my mood has improved somewhat, but my cognition/memory is at an all time low. I can't keep a thought in my head long enough to even express it. I can't find my way around the subway, I put money back in my wallet instead of paying the restaurant check, forget to lock my apt, I try to read and I can't understand what I'm reading. It's not sooo bad in the morning, but gets worse as the day goes on, by 2pm I'm exhausted and my brain completely shuts down. I have atypical depression, so this pattern is typical, but I don't remember my memory ever being this nonexistent. It's very, very scary. My doctor told me to reduce my Lamictal to 400mg, as I've lost a lot of weight, and my blood levels have increased, so it may be due to that. Or is this a temporary Nardil side effect? Sorry if this is soo confusing, it's hard just keeping my thoughts clear enough to write this.
