I have also gained weight on Nardil but I am too afraid of adding anything to something that works. Im probably 15 lbs more than when I started Nardil. I take the lowest dose for me which is 45 rather than 60, which has caused more than 15 lbs gain. I try and exercise but am not very good about establishing good routines that I know are invaluable for me and would definately improve my body weight and condition. Sadly, my motivation tends to be non-existent.
I think having had Ketamine IV a year ago has made my meds work better. It may also be taking DL-Phenylalanine, which has eliminated suicicidal thinking, which is a red flag symptom for my worsening depression.
Meds: Nardil 45 mg q am (60 is ideal)
Ritalin, 5 mg, up to TID (usually 2x/day)
Seroquel 50 mg q pm for sleep
Lithium 300 ER, 1x/wk (or more if
depression slips)
DL Phenylalanine 500 mg 1-2/wkAs you can probably tell my goal is the lowest dose of each med, more has never helped me except 60 mg Nardil might be better but with more wgt gain.
