In reply to Why am I walking and talking SLOWLY on Nardil?, posted by don_bristol on October 10, 2003, at 10:06:37
Don, My experience is that it gets better with time, but it never goes away. You have another month or so to go before the "start up" side effects wear off. If you still have problems with "SLOWness" after another month you should ask your pdoc about augmenting the Nardil with something to help the slowness. I've been on Nardil almost 30 years, and am now also taking Ritalin, Provigil, and Thyroid (T3) to augment the Nardil. [EOB]
