Specifically, the side effect where Nardil destroys your bodies ability to regulate your body's temperature and you end up over overheating, and sweating uncontrollably over the most minimal exertion or even slightly humid temperatures (say, above 82 degrees F).
I stopped Nardil, tapered down in about a week or two, (and it's been at least a month or two, and still have terrible insomnia, and the sweating/overheating almost seemed to get worse, and I'm not on any other meds.
Also, the difficult one I hate to even discuss, but is the difficulty achieving an orgasm Nardil caused, and more often inability to do so, but once I quit, imagine 180 degrees the opposite... (I'm male), like being 12 years old again. Even if I was meeting anyone on a dating site, I would refrain from intercourse, for obvious embarrassing reasons. Is this permanent? Erection is not the problem either, if that's what you are thinking. Premature, you know what. I never had a problem with this, even at 14, ever, in my entire life, and I'm 41 now.
I still have yet to see my shrink, appt is still 2 weeks away, feels like an eternity when you're bedridden with severe depression and nothing to do all day, no interests (that's to the depression), and so on. The last thing I need is more reasons to end my life.
I'm thinking of filing a lawsuit against the makers of Nardil. Would any of this stand up in court?
I can't even go on vacation to a warm climate, hence sweat uncontrollably, and heaven forbid get intimate with a woman again. It's ruined my life, or what's left of it.
