In reply to Nardil and WEIGHT GAIN, posted by Angel1 on December 28, 2002, at 21:37:35
I am a male and take 90mg of Nardil for 5 months now for social anxiety.
I think I gained about 10 pounds from eating way to many carbs, my craving for food changed to sweet things and not salty. I lifted weights during the weight gain so I do not have much fat on my body but more muscle which actually might be why I weigh more (still not sure. Now I cut back on binging out sweet foods and adding more healthy foods to the mix...
If you are worried about weight gain definately add in exercise and try your hardest to not eat so many sweets. Besides if you gain to much weight just stop taking it and it should come off.
The anorgasmia occurred for 4 months (which sucked).. Then I had an orgasm a few weeks ago. I never took any drugs to help with this problem. Now I can orgasm fine, it just takes longer than it use to which is not all that bad :)
I don't have any insomnia, I do get tired in the afternoon about 2-3 times a week only for a few hours.
This 3 I would say would be the hardest side effects to take from Nardil and as you can see they don't bother me anymore and I am glad Nardil has decreased my anxiety by about 75% and I hardly get depressed anymore..
hope this helps
