> > > I was on Nardil 60 mg for 16 months. I tapered off it over 6 weeks. It's been 6 weeks since I stopped taking it completely. The symptoms started 1 day after I took the last dose (of 15 mg). I still have disabling nausea, diarrhea and lethargy. Anyone know when this will end? Is there anything I can do to relieve the symptoms? Thanks- Caralyn

I was on Nardil for 18 years and had to go off it because I was starting to have problems with my blood pressure. I have been totally off it for 5 weeks now and still experiencing nausea, have lost 30 pounds, and generally feel weak. The nausea is starting to get better - it's now mostly for a couple hours or so in the morning.

> Hey- I am better now, although it took about 3 months. I lost about 20 lbs., which was great because I had gained 30 lbs from the Nardil induced chocolate cravings!! I hope you feel better soon!! I feel great off the Nardil and am enjoying cheese again!That's great that you're feelinge better! I can't believe it's taking this long to withdraw off Nardil. So did you go on a new antidepressant or are you completely med-free now?
Thanks
