> thanks i appreciate the post and the hope. You talk about weight gain. I currently am playing Club Water Polo and am in the water 4-5 times a week and i work out about 4 times a week and play frisbee about twice a week. Should weight gain be an issue. Also do you suffer from insomnia? Jedi?
natedog,
With that much activity you should not have much of a problem. I have lost serious weight while taking Nardil, but it involved at least two hours of intense exercise about six days per week.I do have insomnia on MAOIs. I believe, from the posts here, that most all users of Parnate and Nardil do. Currently I'm taking 25 to 50mg of Seroquel on a nightly basis. I'm a little groggy in the morning, but it sure is nice to get seven or eight hours of sleep. I've also used trazodone and diphenhydramine hydrochloride(Benadryl)-make sure there is nothing else mixed in. I've been on clonazepam long enough so that the somnolence effect is completely gone. However, the clonazepam still helps with my social anxiety.
Take care,
Jedi
