In reply to NARDIL Users Question for you, posted by angels78 on July 11, 2010, at 0:52:39
Yes. I have experienced this a fair amount of times. Is worse and more frequent with higher doses.
Others correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe these are considered myoclonic jerks. And I believe they are primarily a side effect of excessive serotonin transmission in certain brain pathways or areas.
I have startled the hell out of a few people i was sleeping next to on a good number of occasions because of this. But yeah, it is annoying, for sure.
PS For me the jerks were not as pronounced on 45mg compared to 60.
> Hey guys, I'm currently on Nardil 60 mg as of today, I am decreasing my dose with the help of my Pdoc to 45 mg. Anyways, I had a question because I had a side effect that I'm not quite sure of and I was wondering if anyone else has this side effect. Ok..
