Sup guys. I need some advice.. Nardil works great for me , it gets rid of the sa and depression that has hindered me for so long.. Last year I had to come off it because I was hospitalized and they blamed the nardil for making me "lose it." It took a lot of charming but I was able to get my doc to be willing to perscribe a low dose and see how it goes, and then hopefully go up if all is well. This is the only glimmer of hope that I have to living a normal life again, as sa, depression, and ocd have crept back in full force since being off the nardil. I believe the sa is the reason i am depressed. As for the ocd I cannot put a finger on what causes it all I know is it really only manifests when Im in a bad place in life when I am happy its barely there if at all....Any ways my bad Im just venting but on to the main point of this thread....
The one side effect that hurt me the most while on nardil was the weight gain. I gained about 60 lbs on it which is a lot.. I went from 190 to 260 then down to 230 after being off the med. I am currently at 230 right now and im 5'7 so I dont have many pounds to spare before I appear obese. I am willing to diet and exercise everyday and do everything I can to control the nardil hunger. My life is basically nothing right now, which makes me want to start taking nardil now, but I cant afford to really gain any weight.. On the other hand my other plan was to lost mad weight(40 lbs) over the course of 3 months and then go on the nardil. What do u guys think I should do?
Also will lithium potentially have any added benifit combined with nardil?
My bad for the long read Ive just been going through so much right now... I have faith in God that things will get better and thats wat keeps me going. Thanks guys.
