Long time Nardil user, diagnosed with tennis elbow in one arm. This has spread to numbness and aching in both arms (some type of ulnar nerve issue?).
I got tested for Nardil b6 deficiency thinking this could be peripheral neuropathy - but levels were normal.
Any ideas on whether all of this could be related to Nardil in some way?
Thanks.

This is a really dumb suggestion but do you have a flat pillow?
I started Nardil about 3months ago and did have an issue w/ my shoulders/arms hurting. I don't think it was related though. After running through all the med possibilities I finally figured out my pillow (which I prefer very flat) was causing me to sleep oddly pinching nerves. I got a new bigger/flufy pillow and it went away.
95% this isn't your problem so sorry for the suggestion but....

Interesting. My arms also often have these symptoms when I am standing or sitting, not just laying down. Did yours as well?

Well, my experience here is a little different than most. My eyes see things other eyes don't see.
That said, whenever I see anything related to unexplained onset of numbness, paralysis, phantom this or phantom that, neuropathy, etc, mystery stuff, this immediately sends up a yellow flag that says lyme-like unknown stealth infection. In my book, that is the only thing that can come on rapidly without any explanation and result in those kinds of neurological symptoms.
My gut instinct would be to blame these new symptoms on some environmental insult, not on Nardil. Unless serotonin syndrome is happening, in which weird stuff results.
Unhealthy eating habits can wreak havoc as well - blood clots, strokes, blood sugar, blood pressure - with the possibility of creating your symptoms.
I am bug-phobic when it comes to any discussion of neurological or neuropsychiatric symptoms. So forgive me for an odd view of what is happening.

Took about a week but went away and no more probs.
I don't think it was Nardil related per say but just something to check cause at first I thought it was meds.
