Just,
I am on Nardil too and many of us are having good results so don't be afraid to join in.
What is your dosage? I took 45 for a few months and just recently increased to 60 mg since my depression cam back. The recommended dose is 1 mg/kg of weight, so if you weigh 70 kg (154#), you may have to take up to 70 mg.
Some of the earliest side effects are lightheadedness and dizziness from the lowering of your BP. Other than that you may not have alot of SE's, although I had a few more but wanted to stick with it and I happy that I did.
I have a long history of only responding to MAO's, with the exception of Parnate, so I'm thrilled than Nardil is working. I also take Nortriptylline but most pdocs are not saavy enough to add that to a MAO.
Just take it slow and stay at a dose long enough to get used to the SE's and then go to the next highest dose.
There's lots of users who can advise you as you begin your Nardil treatment. good luck and keep writing.
