> Constipation is the thing I'm worrying about, not dry mouth. I get away with using Buprenex occasionally by adding
I have it chronically, and docusete sodium (2 pills/day) has always helped me as long as I take it every day. I've tried everything on the market, literally.
> I don't think the mechanisms of weight gain have been well elucidated; also, isocarboxazid is the least-studied of the three remaining "classic" MAOIs. Therefore, there doesn't seem to be much information about weight gain with Marplan. I think the best bet is to ask around (see if you can find some docs who have experience using it).
According to studies done when it was available in the US years ago, the incidence of significant weight gain with Marplan is 20% while Nardil is 74%. I have a list of the percentages of Marplan side effects from this period (which used more people than the trial currently listed by the manufacturer) if you want it.
I was wondering again if you felt that lithium helped irritability? I was thinking about Buspar as well, tho it seems it may increase it.
