Hello all--
Has anyone gained weight on Nardil or Parnate? I gained a significant amount of weight on SSRI's and have no interest in revisiting those extra lbs.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Stella

>I've taken both, and my experience was that
Nardil contributed to weight gain while Parnate
didn't. But Parnate made me a bit nauseous, so
that may have contributed.I had no weight problems while taking Marplan,
another MAOI that has recently become available
again. You might want to consider it...

I have taken both Parnate and Nardil. I gained weight on the Nardil, but I actually lost 30 pounds on the Parnate. Too bad it stopped working because I gained all the weight back as soon as I stopped taking it.

Stella,
I gained weight on Nardil and Marplan but not Parnate. Overall, Nardil seems to be the worst, while Parnate rarely causes weight gain.

> I gained 40 pounds on Nardil. This weight gain occurred even though I jogged 2-3 miles a day and was very strict with my diet. I felt wonderful, but could not control the weight gain. Switched to Parnate, haven't yet lost the weight, but haven't gained any. I don't feel quite as good as I did on Nardil, but I'm not depressed.
