> > Hello
> > I took Nardil for 4 weeks and suffered loss of appretite, diarhea and lost 10 lbs. I was stopped by the police for driving while impaired. Has anybody else had any similar experiences. My doctor has vaguely suggested a hypoglycemic attack. He says the usual side effect is constipation not diarrhea but the diarrhea stopped when I stopped the Nardil and I are ravenously for several days after, so there does seem to be a correlation. Any help would be appreciated.
>I've been taking nardil for 15 years so maybe I can help. I take the pills throughout the day, not more than one at a time. More than one 15mg pill at a time will give me some diarrhea the next day. Eating something around pill time can help alot. Increasing the dose gives me some diarrhea or constipation and some cycling between the two until I adjust to it.
When I first started nardil I lost 15 lbs but all these years later I've put it all back and then some... age catching up with me.
Too high a dose can bring symptoms of hypermania - could be the reason for your driving incident.
