Hi all,
I've been on 60 mg of Nardil for several months now, and on Nardil in general for over a year. The most annoying side effects I've had have been peripheral edema (especially when also taking an NSAID), insomnia, myoclonic jerks, and urinary retention. Oh, and weight gain, of course.These have mostly been gone for awhile now, but for some reason they are BAAAAACK. I've got more UR, a greater tendency for edema, and have been getting myoclonic jerks. The latter often are a withdrawal symptom, and when I backed down to 45 mg last week, they indeed increased for a few days.
In addition, ever since I've been on Nardil, I've had only one or two migraines in over a year. I used to get more than two a month. I don't know why Nardil made them go away, but I was grateful for it. Now migraines are back!
What's going on? Is this poop out? A bad batch? I see my pdoc on Friday, and I am tempted to talk to her about going on a maintenance dose or even going off of it. I'm at the point in my therapy and meds treatment where I think it's mostly up to me doing the work now, anyway. (Of course I could be fooling myself).
Any suggestions?
