> Well, for one, the sexual side-effects were very frustrating -- complete impotence, anorgasmia, and increased libido just for shits and giggles. Dry mouth almost to the point where I couldn't swallow without water. Memory problems -- I told Dr. Liebowitz that Nardil made me forget my checkbook at one of our appointments... kind of funny how he agreed to change my prescription soon after that :) It's hard to explain, but it also made me breathe really heavy while I was at rest, kind of like I was really overweight but I'm not. The biggest problem of all was insomnia.
Hey Jon,
Thank you so much. I have had the same exact side effects with nardil ... sexual problems, insomnia, memory problems and yes "heavy breathing" too! Add in the weight gain, feet swelling as well. Well, I have been on virtually all the ADs, several mood stablizers, klonopin and ECT. Neurontin + klonopin + selegiline worked pretty well .... but my anxiety is sooooo bad that even 50 to 60% improvement is non functional for me. ECT worked, by I think I would need monthly maintenance for it to stick and the memory loss would be too much.
So I guess Nardil is it for me. As I alway say, back to being "fat, dumb and impotent."
Thanks again.
Jumpy
