Thanks to both of you for the input. I'm not looking for increased efficacy from a Nardil patch - I couldn't possibly feel any better than I do when taking it orally. I was just hoping that bypassing the digestive phase might lessen some of the side effects.
Under any other circumstances, my bladder and bowel functions are perfectly normal. Parnate affects them slightly, but both Nardil and Marplan almost shut them down. I did try urecholine but it didn't make an appreciable difference. As for the edema, no one had any clue. By the end of the day, my feet would be spilling over the sides of my shoes and my legs were unrecognizable as mine. When I'd wake up in the morning, my face was so swollen, I couldn't see past my puffed up eyelids. Marplan, by the way, also caused very frightening myoclonus at night - one jerk after the other about five seconds apart.
I have no idea if a Nardil patch would alleviate these symptoms or not but, as we all do, I'm grasping at any straw that floats by. I'll post if I find any information.
