Dr. Steinhauer:
First, thanks for agreeing to be our guest expert. It's always helpful.I was wondering if there was anything about Nardil (I have taken between 45 and 60 mg for over a year now for atypical depression) that might lead to binge eating. I know that weight gain is a common side effect, but I never used to binge before I went on Nardil. Now, it's as if I can actually feel the "void" in my brain that would normally tell me to stop eating or portion control. Hyperphagia was never a symptom for me prior to going on Nardil.
Any thoughts or is this just a coincidence with the timing? And any ideas on what can help combat this? I've tried setting a timer to not go back for seconds (or thirds or whatever) until the timer rings. This has worked a bit, but not as much as I would like.
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
