In reply to Nardil plus Stimulant?, posted by Dwight on January 14, 2001, at 14:14:51
Hi,
I took nardil with ritalin and then with adderall. I found it did help my concentration a bit, but not with word-finding difficulties or weight at all. (I had gained a lot of weight from nardil, and had bad word-finding problems on the combo of nardil and lamictal.) Just based on my similar experiences, maybe the memory problems would get better if you lowered the neurontin dose a bit, since neurontin and lamictal are somewhat similar. But, for me, I never found anything that helped with the nardil weight gain. I don't think stimulants in general can help with that. If you're desperate, maybe Topamax or cytomel (thyroid hormone) could help, but that's only theoretical...
Good luck,
anita
> Okay here's my dillema. Nardil and neurontin seem to be the only drugs that help my social phobia to any considerable degree. But the neurontin causes insufferable memory problems and the nardil causes insufferable weight gain. What I'm wondering--and I saw something about this in the tips--is what about combining Nardill with a Stim. like Adderal. By doing that might I be able to get the same effects AND keep off the weight? Has anyone tried and MAO/Stim. combo?
