In reply to Drinking while on Nardil..., posted by daryl2926 on August 19, 2008, at 14:56:53
I was on Nardil in 1989 for 3 months. My pdoc quickly stopped it after I was delivered to the emerg. dept one night.
I went to bed with a cough. Woke up in the middle of the night and took 2 teaspoons of cough syrup...I was half asleep , but still not a good excuse.
I remember sitting at the kitchen table, a police officer staring at me and then an ambulance showing up.
My wife said I was acting like a zombie. I'll have to take her word as I didn't remember much. She said the ambulace left our house with it's lights on, she was following, 2 minutes into the trip on came the siren?I don't know what they administered to counter the reaction but I do remember my pdoc showing up in the emerg. that morning.
I described how I felt, it was kinda like I was in a outside myself, but I could not control anything, very frightening.
He had me stop Nardil for 2 weeks and then started me on clomipramine.
Long story short, do not consumme alchol while taking maoi's.
