> i just started nardil im at 30 mg, dont notice much. at thanksgiving dinner a relative dropped dead from a heart attack mid sentence while talking with me. it was horrific.
> now im obsessed with nardil causing sudden heart attack or damaging my heart. which may make no sense since im 30 years younger than the person who died...but its got me obsessing.
> can nardil cause heart damage and how likely is it? i know about the food and med interactions...but is this something that is not likely to happen? i want to give the med a shot. but i also am a little paranoid now...and i was to begin with. it was a really sad and traumatic holiday.I am profoundly sorry for the great tragedy and trauma you are experiencing. It is unimaginable.
Perhaps you should ask your questions of your doctor.
For me, Nardil produced occasional heart palpitations that were not indicative of a heart condition. I think they were just an example of "fight-or-flight" autonomic symptoms that are nothing to worry about and will pass with time. Having said that, I would suggest that think about getting a quick ECG (EKG) should palpitations arise. It would help to allay your fears.
By the way, heart palpitations can be a symptom of depression.
Good luck.
