> So far i am on my second week of phenelzine at 15 mg three times a day. All it does for me is turn me into a detached zombie, i want to sleep all the time, have stomach ache and constipation, and become shivery cold so i have to wear a big coat inside the house. I knew i would have side-effects but this beats any other med i have ever tried.
> I was on parnate before but had a similar problem only the fatigue would come on about 2 hours after each dose where as now it is from midday until nightime.
> I don't care about eating, i can't be bothered to wash or take any care in my appearance. I basically feel and lool withdrawn and tired. People comment on the fact that i don'e make any conversation and that when i do i can't find the right words.
> Will these side-effects go away? If not i am probebly going to have to come off it. I feel worse now then i did before. At least i did not spend the day shivering cold and lying in bed.
> Please can someone who has been on this tell me this will pass ?I've heard that many of the side effects get better or subside with nardil. Two weeks is to early to tell if it will work. See if you can hang in there 4-6 weeks. For all you know relief from your depression could be just a couple weeks away.
