Hey Judy
> How much Nardil are you taking now? I suspect once you hit the side effects plateau, they don't get any get any worse (how could they?), but you might see increased AD benefits at higher doses.I'm taking 52.5 mg per day and I'd like to get up to 60. As to the constipation; mineral oil doesn't seem to do anything and as you say neither does increasing fiber in the diet. I think what has happened is that the old intestine is just not really doing anything. So I think the way to go is laxatives, which seem to work to some extent. I hate the idea of getting addicted to laxatives though.
? I've been taking it for several months now and, while it's not Nardil, it's probably the closest I've come. On the plus side, it has very few nasty side effects. Even the anorgasmia is not total - it just takes a loooooong time to get there. I'm planning to increase my dose from 60 mg to 70 or 80 - maybe the side effects are lying in wait there. I won't know until I try.
>Yeah I was on Parnate for almost a year and I couldn't get above a certain dose again because of constipation. I also found other side effects unpleasant; like the speedy morning and then the poop out in the afternoon. I also noticed that it affected my sense of taste; weird huh?
But I hope Parnate works for you; sounds like we are both on similar trails.
Good luck,
Peter
