Hello
I´ve been taking Nardil for almost 2 years. Most of the time I have been on 45 mg. I am now on 60mg, aiming to 90. I also take Seroquel 25mg at nigth.I have had this rare side effect. I feel extremly tired and week. I can´t walk without getting exhaust. I remember I had this side effect the last time I was on 60, but I was only when I run or do excercise. But now it is all the time. Im gonna have a bloodtest tomorrow better, I dont like this.
Even now , sitting at the computer , I feel I have no strength. It is difficult to breath, like if I were run one mile.Have you guys on Nardil felt this anytime ??????

It could be the new nardil has stopped working
check out the web site:
www.anxietyhelp.org/treatment/medication/nardil.html
We are all having problems with this new nardil.
It doesn't work like the original if it works at all.

I had it on Parnate. It was a fatigue. It was like "if I don't lie down now I am going to fall over". That is when I started taking the Adderall to combat it.
Does it hit you at a particular time of day?
Are you eating a lot of carbs because of the Nardil?Take care.

>I am getting confused. Nardil is supposed to help atypicals, where the major symptoms are letargy, leaden paralysis, lack of concentration. I am getting tired on Parnate too, but late in the evening and I think this is related to amphetamine
metabolites decomposition. I had similar feeling on Concerta late in the day.

I get this while on Nardil when I also have peripheral edema. Also, I've noticed that when I am fall over on the floor fatigued, if I take my blood sugar (I'm not diabetic, but I can go hypoglycemic at times) my blood sugar is actually a bit high--in the 140's. This is high for me. I wonder at times, with the weight gain, if I'm headed towards metabolic syndrome.

> does Parnate cause on you insomnia??No, it caused me daytime fatigue

> mmm, not at all... why??Because eating too many carbs can make you tired and Nardil does cause people to crave and eat carbs. So I was just wondering if your problem was related to your diet.
