In reply to Nardil causing this or something else?, posted by Dla on May 26, 2018, at 14:56:08
I am in my 40s also and have been taking Nardil, but for for 10 years. I have similar issues with all of the things you mentioned except #3. I am very athletic and run, bike, play tennis, but sometimes I get winded easily -- especially when running, so I don't do more than 30 minutes at a time and maybe 2-3 times a week. My knees feel sore when I run, which is a recent phenomenon. In the summertime and in poor air circulation I sweat easily, so I wear a wristband.
Have you tried a very slight reduction in dose? Meaning cutting a tablet into 4ths and taking, say 3 and 3/4 tablet instead of 4 (if you are taking 60 mg). I take something like 53 mg.
