What is your diagnosis, if you don't mind me asking? I'd give some other meds a try before going on Nardil. Celexa is a very clean med, can be very effective, with hardly any side-effects and very mild withdrawal symptoms. I've been on and off it for ~7 years now, and my initial response to it was amazing. It sort of stopped working after 1 year, although it still takes the edge off me and helps me half-way function.
I was on Nardil for a year and I don't recall any withdrawal symptoms. As for side-effects, I had a lot of hypotension, but thankfully that only lasted for the first 2 months on the med. After that, it was gone. The worst side-effect on Nardil was weight gain and feeling a bit dumbed-down. I guess I felt that difficulty with word-recall you mention. On the whole, it did nothing for my depression, though. I'd still try it. You never know. But beware of the diet restrictions.
