I have fibromyalgia and live in constant pain. I have found on Nardil that I still have pain, but Nardil has relieved the "flareups" that come if I've exerted myself more than I should, which is all the time now that I've found a whole stash of energy I never thought I'd see again. For me zero depression, anxiety down to just feeling a bit overwhelmed in crowds, socializing way up (I was a hermit before)..focus and concentration improving weekly..
I am overweight to being with from SSRI's..the way I'm trying to combat weight gain is simply not having anything sweet in my house. I have zero appetite during the day..it's at night that I can go crazy on carbs and sweets..also the diet has forced me to start cooking fresh suppers, whereas before I would just throw a frozen meal in the microwave..I've been on it since September and have gained 6 pounds but that was during the first month..so far I haven't gained anymore weight.
It may be worth a second look for you. My pain is always there but it's like I don't care..for some reason I can deal with it..I'm doing things that would have put me in bed for a day before, but not now..
Sorry to ramble..just wanted to share my experience with my chronic pain disorder and Nardil..
