> Actually, I haven't gained any weight since I started Nardil 11 1/2 weeks ago (I've been at 75mg/day for the last two weeks). Not even a little weight gain.
That's great. I seem to start gaining again whenever I change the dose I've gone sort of back and forth between 45 and 67.5, depending on how I'm doing. I keep trying to lower, and I'm finding it's not a good idea.
>I do think that the problem of anorganisma, however, has set in. And my hypotension and urinary retention are getting worse, as well. Oh yeah, and the insomnia is horrible.
The anorgasmia tends to go away in time, about 3-4 months in my case. Although it may be different for men and women. I deal with urninary retention and the subsequent edema by occasionally taking Lasix. Come to think of it, this time at 60 mg, I'm not experiencing that. Yeah! Severe insomnia is partly why I couldn't tolerate 75 mg.
>I seem to feel slightly less depressed than I normally do, and even a little less depressed than I did at 60mg. I'm still not getting anything close to a robust response, though, so I'm not sure if it's going to be worth it or not. Maybe things will improve with more time and one more dose increase. We'll see.
Glad you're getting some response. Ace is a big proponent of going to 90 mg, so maybe that will do the trick for you. Talk to your doctor about the side effects. There may be meds to deal with those.
