Thanks Scott,
I did completely cut out caffeine when I first started on Nardil, but in the last four or five months I've added it back in. The last week I've been so fatigued I've had 3 or 4 cokes in a day, and still really tired.It occurs to me that I started taking Bextra, an NSAID COX-2 inhibitor for some back and knee pain. I take 10 mg once per day, usually sometime between 8 and 11 in the a.m. (Depends on when I eat). Drowsiness and/or fatigue is not listed as a common side effect. Anemia is. Wonder about that. But 800 mg of Motrin also makes me sleepy for some reason. All NSAIDS give me edema, but so far not with Bextra.
Argh, I can either ache or swell and fall asleep every night from 6-10.
