In reply to Nardil - rash 20 mn later, posted by Kathii on August 20, 2007, at 23:13:20
I have no clue about whether I could be allergic to anything in the pills. I'm not knowledgeable about chemical ingredients, so it'd be impossible for me to figure it out.
But the rashes came when I was on 70mgs and I had it only once while on 60mgs. They don't happen every single time I take the med either. They happen sometimes, and sometimes they don't.
It's strange. Or maybe I just hadn't noticed them before? I just remember being at my desk, taking the pill, and 20 mins later, suddenly feeling really warm, especially in my chest, so just by coincidence I turned to look down and there it was.
My personal guess and intuition is that they appeared when lots of Nardil had accumulated inside of me. As I lowered the dose, they slowly disappeared. So I guess the only "allergy" would be to excessive amounts of Nardil in my body.
Not to mention that when I went up to 90mgs, I had even a worse reaction than the allergy. I had a pounding headache (right 20-30mins after each dose) that sent me to the ER thinking it could have been a hypertensive crisis. Without a doubt the worst headache in my life.
Thanks for your input
