>Yes, a few years ago, I believe I tried Marplan. I also tried Parnate (which really didn't agree with me) and Selegiline. Sel. works ok but fizzled out really quickly. Now Nardil is pooping out. I've had severe insane crying/suicidal days on Nardil as if I didn't even take it. Scares the hell out of me. Those days are brutal, as anyone who's had one would know. I forgot how well Marplan worked, but I don't think it was as effective as Nardil.
I've been taking Nardil, which seems like forever, and I still suffer from the inability to cool your body down that it causes, and the insomnia. So I take drugs to get to sleep too. I still wake up several times in the middle of the night too. Now I think I have some bladder issue I have to address.I still have to lose 20 pounds that various atyp. antip. gave me. I hate how I look. I had a flat gut 6 months ago.
