Hi, I also have been on all 4 meds. First taking Nardil in 1986 with immediate relief. A few years later took Marplan with equally effacacious results, not sure of how long for the effects to begin though. MArplan was discontinued in 1993, so I was forced to come off of it.
Fast forward 20 years, trying Ensam with minimal results at all 3 doses.
Oh back up somewhere in there, tried Parnate with zero results...so out of the 4, have only had good results with NArdil and Marplan. The second "go" with Marplan (3-4 yrs ago) was ineffective, so back to Nardil again, and with a positive outcome.
So, those are my results. I did have sides with Nardil the second time around, not the first time. The sides were weight gain and GI distress (gas and constipation) which went away. Even the weight gain (20 lbs) has been corrected, so if you are in a desparate place, like I have always been, the weight gain has to be overlooked, at least for me it was.
Good luck on your jouney...at least you have many other travelers here.
