I just stopped Nardil after several years.
It definitely gave me the munchies, especially sweet stuff though not untill about a year into it's positive effects.Combined with clonazepam made no difference, only made me more tired & sleep more.
I also combined Provigil (similar to adrafinil) with Nardil but had no effect on appetite, except maybe the first week or so (it is a kind of stimulant which, incidentally, pooped out on me eventually anyway).
I'm very soon going back on Marplan, another MAOI which as I remember from before had quite an 'activating' effect of its own without any increased appetite. I found it too activating back then (I was trying it as a Nardil sub for SP) but was one DAMN good antidepressant!
I'm hoping that this time, coupled with clonazepam my anxiety will reduce without the lethargy I eventually got with Nardil.
Parnate is another MAOI with some amount of 'activating' qualities but you'll have to ask others bout that one as I've never tried it. Yet.
