> First, for those taking or have taken Nardil, is the weight gain really that bad or can it be controlled. I eat very healthy (no sweets of any kind) and exercise. So will the weight gain really be that be an issue?
>Well, "weight gain" (I assume you're concerned about fat mass) can only occur in the presence of a dietary energy surplus. Exercise is never necessary to control weight. Just make sure your caloric intake does not exceed expenditure.
> Secondly, can you take remeron with Nardil? Trying to think of different meds to help with insominia.
Yes you can. Precipitation of 5-HT toxicity is not a concern, but I would be cautious given the adrenergic properties of mirtazapine. Start low and keep an eye on blood pressure. I'd be surprised if you had any problems even at higher doses (30-45 mg), but better safe than sorry.
