Re: questions for experienced Nardil users

In reply to questions for experienced Nardil users, posted by g_g_g_unit on January 10, 2010, at 21:16:07

The Nardil side effects can be very intimidating. I had every single one during the first few months taking Nardil. However, I held on and now it's been about 8 months. I have maybe only one or two side effects right now. I take 60mg. On 75mg the side effects were aggravated (sleepiness, fogginess).

1) In my experience, the side effects of Nardil initially as well as on a higher dose made it very difficult for me to focus because I was sleepy all the time. My vision was blurrly. I did go to work all this time, but my productivity was low. Now, on 60mg, and barely any side effects, my productivity is excellent.

2) I never got restless leg. I guess that side effect escaped me. I thought I had all of them. Anyway, my guess is that it is dose dependent.

3) I did not experience any insomnia on Nardil at any point. Then again I am atypical in that through my entire depression history, I never had problems sleeping or oversleeping.
