> Thank you Justherself54. Were the brain zaps intolerable? Did they last the whole day? I've had them before (when discontinuing an SSRI), and I found them annoying, but I'd probably put up with them if I were able to recover my previous weight faster.
The brain zaps weren't intolerable..they just wore me out as they lasted througout the whole titration and the following two week washout..

> What are the other side effects that you couldn't tolerate? What happened to you weight once the Nardil washed out completely? Did you lose the weight?I had some urinary issues and the one side effect that caused to to come off Nardil was spontaneous vomiting in my sleep. My pdoc (and I) felt there was too much risk for asphixiation on it, so that's where my Nardil trial ended. The "Nardil weight" is almost completely gone (except for 2 pounds.

Did Nardil work out for you at all, Justherself54? Why did you decide to quit it? Did you augment it?Yes, it is a great AD...the weight gain was bad enough, but the barfing thing was the deal breaker!
Parnate, on the other hand, killed my appetite...go figure!

> Girl78I hope you have a successful titration! I hope the brain zaps don't happen, but if they do I hope they are minor and short-lived!
