I have been on nardil since 8/02 and have never felt better my life. BUT I have gained 10 lbs and since I'm 55 most of it is around my waist! which is up to 35 1/2 in !! I know one of the side effects is weight gain but haven't been able to find out why - is it inherent with a MAO inhibitor ie there is really not a reason why or is it due to ? metabolism change,carb craving, etc. I am also on Ritalin cuz of drowsiness caused by chronic pain management. Oxycontin and Norco. You'd think that would help. Not. I also have weird eating habits due to Burning Mouth Syndrome and IBS (drinking ensure,only eating cookies& ice cream) and that did not change so I started doing more research on nardil and found some patients (I think here) talking about weight increase. With the search engine down and I am still learning to use a computer I gave up. I hope someone sees this and helps me somehow!!!!
Thank you. Joanne
