In reply to Re: Nardil Weight Gain - how much and cause, posted by Declan on May 28, 2005, at 23:58:58
I don't know how much or the cause, but my psychiatrist did warn me about weight gain on Nardil in addition to drowsiness. I'm like great, I already get more than my fair share of both of those on Depakote. I've gained going on 50 lbs. since I started taking it last summer...up until then I was twig. I haven't gained any weight since we added the Nardil, luckily, but I haven't been on it that long.
On a different note, it seems like you guys are saying that Nardil is the better mood brightener of the two MAOIs. My psychiatrist felt that Parnate was better for depression, so I took that to mean it was probably better for those in need of a boost. My mood isn't what I would call bright, but the anxiety is under control. If going on Parnate would make that aspect worse, then it'd sure be nice to find something that eliminates both depression AND anxiety.
