Parnate, which worked wonders when I first started it, hasn't been keeping me stable and I know if I have another bad depressive episode, Nardil will be suggested.
My question is, do most people gain weight on Nardil and is the weight gain due to increased appetite or just a side effect.
This is a big deal for me, since I got a lot of help from atypicals, but gained over 50 pounds during the course of various trials with various drugs. I DID NOT EAT ANY MORE THAN USUAL AND I ACTUALLY EXERCISED MORE BECAUSE I WAS NOT DEPRESSED AND LYING IN BED. It had absolutely nothing to do with my behavior, I would just gain 2-3 pounds per week, even if I starved myself and went to the gym daily. The drugs had some powerful effect on my metabolism.
I have finally lost 40 of the 50 pounds I gained and need to lose another 10. I do not want to take Nardil if it is similar to atypicals in causing weight gain. I don't even want to try it for a few weeks if it works like the atypicals, because a few weeks can easily mean 10 pounds in added weight and I've worked too hard to lose weight to want to go backwards.
So does Nardil typically cause significant weigh gain?
