In reply to The 'Nardil Smell' do you have it?, posted by Nardilstarted2007 on November 19, 2007, at 23:56:30
I noticed the smell from the pills themselves more than from my body but I am aware that the medication has caused some changes in my bodily functions, which have caused me to be more self conscious about how I might smell. I have severe gastrointestinal effects, specifically gas and mild constipation which I have never had before so that, in and of itself, has me concerned about what the medication is doing to my body. Overall I'm just aware of more changes (side effects) like lightheadedness that has never resolved since I started nardil in May of this year. Although my BP was as low as 70/40 it has come up a bit and is in the more normal range of 100/60 but the lightheadedness has never gone away.
Also my weight has recently started to climb and I am now battling the side effect of weight gain. That is totally new for me. Another side effect I had in the beginning of starting Nardil was swollen feet. Luckily this did resolve else I believe I would have had to stop it.
Overall, I'm now on 60mg and my depression is under pretty good control so I hope you have good results too. I started slowly at 15 mg due to the effect of Nardil on my BP.
