In reply to Nardil - day 5, posted by g_g_g_unit on January 19, 2009, at 3:50:41
> So I'm currently on my fifth day of 15mg of Nardil a day. The company that supplies it is Link. As far as S/E's go: Day 1 and 2 brought dull yet persistent headaches in the sinus region. I occasionally do suffer from sinus headaches, yet it's the middle of summer here, and there were no related symptoms (nasal congestion, etc.) so I went to the hospital to have my blood pressure checked (despite my assurance to my pdoc that I wouldn't obsess over symptoms lol). Anyway, blood pressure was normal (I've been following the diet to the T), but there was evidence of nasal inflammation. The doc pointed out that headaches are a common initial side-effect, which I had assumed meant in relation to blood pressure, but nope - just plain ol' headaches, the realization of which put my mind at ease. Otherwise, mild anxiolytic effect; sleep's fine; but as far as hunger/weight gain - geez, people weren't kidding! I'm ravenous! Eating everything in sight! Am hoping this might ease up somewhat over time as my metabolism adjusts? I donno . . . has anyone had any success with chromium supplementation?

Let me give you some diet tips. A tablespoon of olive oil helps control appetite. Before you eat meals try a tablespoon of metamucil in a large glass of water before eating. It will fill up your stomach. Continue drinking water after the metamucil as it grows in your stomach and fills you up.
