Hey SLS,
Mainly 50 lbs gain weight. As a health care provider I know with my BMI about 29 to 30 I am at higher risk for hypertension, diabetes, cancer. My left hip has mild arthritis which will only get worse. And of course being fat reduces chances dating and advancing at work.
Insomnia for which ambien barely helps
Sexual dysfunction. Again hard to date when your fat and impotence
Doctors dont know the diet. I swear my dentist gave me epinephrine with lidocaine even though I told him about Nardil and the restrictions
Ankle swelling
Worry that so few people take Nardil, there will be a shortage one day
I think we talked about this before, but Dr Fredrick Quitken The Godfather of Nardil told me that Nardil works 90% of the time but only 10% can tolerate it.
So TMS is making me worse, I all I have to choose between is Nardil and being fat, forever single, high blood pressure and diabetes or maintenance ECT with the inability to work at my high level job and this possibly of long term cognitive loss.
And also, I have been on over 25 medication and the only ones I could not tolerate were despramine and Wellbutrin but to worsen of my panic attack. Of the other TCA, parnate, SSRI, lithium, SNRIs, depakote I had side effects but they were tolerable and I never complained. Nardil was really the first and only medication that I have had difficulties with and have tried to replace
