In reply to Quit or supplement Nardil? (weight gain), posted by Glenda the Good on June 30, 2011, at 21:41:44
Personal experience only: Discontinuing (and replacing) Nardil due to weight gain lead to the demise of my career and livelihood, which, after 3 years; I am only beginning to recover from (after re-starting Nardil.)
What I told my shrink was, I will try my best to manage this side effect with diet and exercise, but if, despite my best efforts, this med still makes me gain weight (60 lbs in my case, when I stopped it in mid '08); it's an acceptable trade-off.
I think it screws with you metabolically - I have eaten LESS than before it kicked in and still gained about 5 lbs so far (1 month since starting therapy).
Just my experience,
