>Cyproheptadine for the bladder retention. Extra salt (sodium) in the diet will help raise blood pressure. Sleep issues? Sorry, you'll have to go through them. You sound like you've studied Nardil before deciding on it. You should then know that Nardil side effects can typically last 6-8 months. Sometimes more! Tho if its working you WILL put up with them coz you feel great, well good enough to ride through them.
Um, what dose are you on, what did you start on and how did you escilate? For me it was only 3 weeks in when I got fed up ond went on 60mg. Within a day or 2 bang! I was however meant to start very low and increase very slowly. Doctors orders, but I decided to go the text book way. Tried and tested after all lol.
Number 1 rule for Nardil- NEVER EVER play around with the dose. Its doubtfull you'll get away with it and with suffer somewhat. In what way depends.
Please explain a little more about your dosage regime. Hard to judge without all the facts.
Hope it 'blasts' it's way in soon,
shot
