In reply to NARDIL : and No weight gain, posted by RT on November 9, 2003, at 13:16:40
> I started a low carb diet about the same time I started taking nardil. The adtkins is the one I chose. I have been on the nardil only about 5 weeks just went to 75 mg/
> I have lost about 15 lbs on this diet . I think once you get all the sugar out of your system the carb cravings arent so bad. You can still eat a low carb candy bar now and then but you can eat till your full of all the items on the list. I really dont think its that hard to stick to and might be something to thing about if your gonna take nardil and are worried about the weight gain issue . Just a thoughtNardil has been HORRIBLE for me as far as weight gain. In June they put me on it and raised the dose to 45 mg/day. In 2 weeks (yes - this is all documented) I gained 20 pounds without chainging my diet or exercise plans. I went from 240lbs to 278lbs (11-11-03). I can barely walk my knees hurt so bad. I've lived as a 150lbs. guy for most of my life. I cain't seem to get any of this weigh off. They put me on Topamax - but tnothing except cognative impairement. I have to buy new clothes for work every 2-3 weeks. It's horrible.
Plus, I have NO sex drive. NONE.
UGH....perhaps it's time to say goodbye to Nardil?
