>I don't understant how this works so I may be doing it wrong. Anyway, I have been one Nardil for about two years. I take 45mgs one day and 30 the next. I also take 35micrograms of cytomel and 100-150 of Seroquel. I also expereince the temperature disregulation problem. I go between sweating and freezing. I am 52, thought it was the "change" though I have always had warm flashes since on Nardil. Also, I have an odd question-has anyone experienced that their urine smells like burnt rubber with use of Nardil? Kind of like after you eat asparagus. Good luck with your explorations.

I do know that at one point I had a wonderful response to Zoloft and Pamelor, but due to GI problems (GERD)- TCA's can really be a problem when you have ongoing reflux. By the way I take Prevacid now and will go for the new endoscopic procedure within the next 6 months to correct this additional 110.00 med.
