Same here. I'm hypoglycemic without any medication to cause it. I think that if/when I try Nardil I'll at least take some chromium. Maybe in your case Nardil isn't having much of an effect on your blood sugar. You don't seem to be craving sweets like others here have described.FWIW, someone here once posted that they kept their weight under control on Nardil by staying on a low carb diet. Also, I recently read a post on the Yahoo MAOI board from someone who just lost 23 pounds doing the Weight Watchers program while on Nardil. So it's definitely possible to lose weight on it, probably a bit more difficult though.
