I'm not sure about your side effects except the coordination and balance problems. Could they be due to orthostatic hypotension? That can be a side effect of an MAOI. In me, it causes me to stagger a bit when I first get up. My walking feels like I am drunk, but I don't feel dizzy. I just stagger for no reason. This is due to the blood pooling in your body when you are lying or sitting down. When you get up, low blood pressure doesn't get the blood back up to the head fast enough.
How long have you been on this med? My orthostatic hypotension usually goes away after one or two weeks on Nardil.
I hope you find a workable solution!
