> Hi all,
> after a few months on Nardil I started waking up an increasing number of times to pee. This has recently become a problem since on bad nights I will go and pee 6 or 7 times.
>
> Not only is this a PITA but on top of that, my snoring has increased in volume and frequency which not only wakes my missus but she then wakes me to stop my snoring! On top on top of that throw in daytime somnolence from the Nardil where I fall asleep at my desk even when I've slept well and you have a recipe called "frikkin' knackered all the time".

> Anyone else experienced this night time peeing? not just on Nardil - in any situation? Any suggestions? I am currently avoiding all liquids 2 hours before going to bed, which helps a bit (still awoke 5 times last night). I went to the GP yesterday to eliminate other causes and he found nothing untoward.

> PeteSnoring and exhaustion are often symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea where your airway closes during sleep. People with this often report Nocturia too. If it is OSA I don't know whether Nardil could have made this worse or not. If the Nardil caused weight gain that certainly could make OSA worse or the timing could be a coincidence. Tell your GP about the loud snoring, falling asleep at your desk and the nocturia all at the same time - that should prompt him to consider sleep apnea.
