> Did you ever notice a dose-dependent effect with regard to weight gain or sexual dysfuntion?I didn't experience weight gain per say. When I started I was very young and had lost much weight due to depression. I took nardil for so long that I didn't identify it with weight gain, but looking back I think it was absolutely responsible for carbohydrate cravings. In my experience, if I didn't start with carbos, I was fine and my weight was under control. But once the sugar mechanism in me was on, it was impossible to control.
As to side effects, the good news is that for me nardil at 30-45mg did not effect me sexually that I was aware of, anyway. Well, more specifically, when I wasn't in a relationship I tended not to have much sexual feeling, but in a relationship, it would definitely kick in. I do feel now, not on nardil, that I'm more aware of sexual feelings in general; I'm assuming that doesn't have to do with being on methadone, but it's hard to know for sure until I go off again of methadone.
> Do you have any experience with Parnate?I tried parnate for a several weeks last summer after nardil had pooped out and I couldn't tolerate the fatigue.
