HUNK20,
At low dose I have little or no insomnia. Almost no side effects, but I've been on the medication for most of 12 years. At higher doses, I'm talking 90mg, the insomnia always has to be treated. Lucky for me, I am really sensitive to the histamine medications. Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride at 50mg knocks me right out. Weight gain is an issue at higher dosages because of carbohydrate cravings. I also think Nardil does something to your system where you can just keep eating way past the point of being full. Never had a problem with orthostatic hypotension, in fact Nardil actually treats my borderline hypertension and keeps me off the beta blockers. Ejaculation delay is the other biggie at higher dosages. Sometimes no ejaculation at all at 90mg. Oh well! There are worse things. Like lying in a fetal position on the floor, wondering how you are going to survive the next ten minutes of life. Depression Sucks! Side effects can be dealt with!
Be Well,
Jedi
