> > I had difficulties urinating when I combined Nardil 75 mg/day with desipramine 200 mg/day. It didn't show up right away. I used Urecholine (bethanecol) to help. Eventually, things improved to the point where I no longer needed the bethanecol. Maybe you'll get lucky. If not, you can try Marplan (isocarboxazid).
> Thanks Scott. I've actually just come off of Marplan after 10yrs or so. Back on Nardil. Last time I did indeed asked for bethanecol and another med. Was denied both. Perhapse this doc might be more willing, esp as he knows how stubborn my depression can be.
Nardil can be a real pain in the butt. Just to let you know, I was finally able to go up to 90 mg/day with just some mild urinary hesitancy. It took awhile, though. You might not have any better choice but to take bethanecol and increase the Nardil dosage in 7.5 mg increments.
Good luck.
