MY QUESTIONS:
I have been on 60mg for 6 weeks. I sleep really well, and have not had any weight gain (although I am fairly disciplined about diet). Am I just lucky or will these problems come later?
Also, when does the anorgasmia end? After 3rd week to now (6th week), and I have not been able to come (and I have tried very hard).
Thanks for your input.
MY EXPERIENCE:
During first months (approximate)
– intense orgasms (enjoy while this lasts. I am tempted to re-start nardil for this experience)
– Dry mouth
– Feel high and medicated
– Nauseous
– drowsyDuring second month
– Dizzy when getting up or physically exerting myself, even if walking up flight of stairs. (Fortunately, this decreased over time)
– Less interest in sex
– Smoke LOT more. Really crave nicotine.
– Minor muscle twitches (mycloneus)
So far (2 months), I still do not have major weight gain or sleep problems.For optimal sleep, I take 2 before sleep, and 2 in the middle of my sleep. I slept very poorly with SSRIs, so maybe my sleep now is just normal. I do like to take naps at lunch, because Nardil makes me bit drowsy.
I eat lost less than before because Nardil gives me more self control, and I just have less of an appetite. I crave sweets though.
Food restrictions- very minor consideration in deciding if to take Nardil. I have eaten certain foods that have made my heart beat really hard. Suspect it was tyramine reaction.
Now, I enjoy life more, more relaxed, positive outlook. I also have better self-control (ie. anger, food)
