Hi All,
Now that I'm at 75mg of Nardil, I'm noticing a new set of side effects. Specifically, very frequent uncontrollable yawning (without sleepiness) and jaw muscle tightness and clenching. I remember this as a side effect I had with most of the SSRI's, even at lower doses. Is this an indication of too much serotonin, or mild serotonin syndrome? It has been persistent for a week.
Is it a reason to stop at 75mg and not increase to 90mg? I'd like to go to 90 mg if possible. I'm a little afraid to talk much to my pdoc about side effects (especially if I feel they are minor) because he is only reluctantly prescribing the Nardil. I always feel that he is looking for a reason to stop it or lower the dosage. But it is working SO well for me.
This side effect isn't too bothersome, and I'm not really experiencing any other bothersome side effects except for insomnia. What do you think I should do?
Thanks
Phoenix
