> CeeI'm sure that I gained weight while I was taking Nardil, but I'm not sure exactly how much I gained because I don't think I ever weighed myself while I was taking the medication. It seems like your current Nardil dose of 90 mg might be a sensible dose for you. I was able to experience remission on 75 mg (despite the fact that it didn't last), but some individuals do, from what I've read, need to take more to experience remission. The 1 mg per kg of body weight statistic that SLS mentioned in another post seems to be a good rule of thumb for determining what dose of Nardil you'll respond to, and it's my understanding that there's research to back that up. I do know that I normally weigh about 175 pounds, and so I think it makes sense that someone who weighs a little bit more than me might require 90 mg of Nardil for remission whereas I only needed 75 mg. Do you know how much weight you've gained since starting Nardil?
I will say that one of the side effects that did not improve for me after I switched from taking film-coated Nardil to my enteric version of the medication was weight gain. That seemed to be a problem for me no matter what version of Nardil I took.
