> I don't know what the ataxia with Nardil is all about. Ataxia is listed as a rare side effect. (Isn't it nice to be special)? I guess anything is possible when it comes to the brain. It's too bad that it wasn't as simple as low blood pressure. Have you ever had any problems with motion sickness? Are you taking other drugs besides psychotropics? Make sure you are not taking diphenhydramine. Nardil has been known to interact badly with some drugs to produce ataxia - even tryptophan.

Nope, don't suffer from motion sickness in the least. Though I do admit to being inherently uncoordinated. Haven't been able to balance myself while standing on one foot ever since I was a young child. So maybe that makes me more apt to develop ataxia. Besides, me and my pdoc call me Side Effect Girl lol
I wasn't taking any other drugs while on Nardill, except Ambien...maybe it contributed to ataxia?
