> The med will effect the deposition and breakdown of adipose(fat) tissue - most people will experience at least a lil weight gain but it can be fought. This can also be gas/constipation and water retention...as ive noticed on nardil...my belly tends to change sizes based on water i think. regular cardil will fight this off to some degree based on your own physiology.

well i haven't actually gained any weight yet (aside from a pound or so, which could also be put down to a weight training program i've recently initiated while on the drug) so that's why i was curious. i'm guessing it's water retention. i posted a message addressed to you in an earlier thread but you may have missed it; i was just wondering if there was a possibility that higher doses of nardil might be more energising. my CBT therapist and i concluded that 60mg might not be the best option since whenever at rest (i.e. reading, watching a movie), regardless of the time of day, i fall asleep, which is counter-productive since those activities fall under my prescribed exposures. it also has not touched my OCD, or done very much at all in fact now that the initial euphoria's cleared up. my thoughts were to maybe move to 75mg since thankfully the insomnia has cleared up on its own. is there the possibility the raise in dose could make a dramatic difference?
