I've taken Nardil before but right now I currently take 60mg of Parnate (a different MAOI with similar side effects). I've experience almost of all the negative symptoms you have to one degree or another. After 6 weeks now, my doctors and I have found some remedies to counter the persistent issues.
(Insomnia): 50mg of Seroquel is the only thing that seems to work for me. Ambien and Lunesta were largely inefficient and helped very little. I also take Xanax on occasion to slow down racing thoughts.
(Orthostatic Hypotension): This has been a HUGE issue for me. I would stand up and fall over or get extremely dizzy within minutes due to falling blood pressure. You can take either Florine or Midodrine to alleviate symptoms. The Florinef gave me insomnia so I recommend Midodrine instead.
I hope my own experience helps some- I know the side effects can be difficult to endure.
