Me or him hun?
Increased appettite? oh yes....carb and sweet cravings make you ravenous and snarf down the stuff like a pig at the trough just watching your *ss get bigger by the second LOL well that an exaggeration but ya increase carb and sweet cravings is common...I still have that bad once and awhile...nardil lowers blood sugar as you know im sure so its as if my body says sugar now munch munch munch. But weight isnt necessarily gonna run wild with nardil. You will gain some for sure...in the area of 5lbs easily...this is water weight though. The weight will come slowly over months and for some never stops coming. You can fight it though with diet and exercise adjustments...but these are not well developed skills with depressed people who tend to overeat crap and be lazy...so most gain quite a bit of weight and bitch about it without trying to lose - hey thats not everyone. dont be offended but true in many cases
> I am really curious about how it goes with the nardil since MAOIs may be the next thing my pdoc recommends since I have also been through all the SSRIs, atypicals, stimulants etc.
> I tried the Ensam patch which was very helpful with my depression but developed a rash in my mouth after the first couple of months.
> Have you had side effects with the Nardil? Increased appetite is always mentioned. Increase appetite seems to be a side effect of almost everything. Doesn't seem fair that you have to get fat to feel better...
> Thanz for any info.
