| 5 | Depression, Anxiety disorders | quite a few, clenching teeth, weight gain, drowsiness, constipation. most of these side effects went away in time. | very very good medication. zaps you out of depression and helps anxiety a lot. does take over a month to work; when it kicks in it is tremendously helpful. And I find it a very safe medicine too (despite what a lot of doctors think). | M | 40 | 18 years 30mg 2X day | 12/16/2017 | 5 | Anxious depression | None except with strong cheese | Amazing | F | 72 | 35 days 30-45 | 7/24/2017 | 5 | Social anxiety and depression | Sexual side effects | I have been on Nardil 15 years. It has been a miracle drug for me to say the least. I started Nardil because of severe social anxiety with relating depression. I recently went off Nardil for 8-10 months and I can say it has been a huge mistake. My doctor convinced me to try some of the newer drugs out there. I am currently his only patient on Nardil which I can't even comprehend. There has to be so many people being deprived of this medication. I am so happy to be back on Nardil that I am already excited and it hasn't even been a week. | M | 36 | 15 years 60MG 1X day | 4/8/2017 | 5 | Clinical Depression | No side effects. | The only antidepressant that worked after a roller coaster of trying many and gave me my life back. The only problem I have is what pain relief I can take and problems with anesthesia during surgery. | F | 63 | 10 years 45 mg | 4/1/2017 | 5 | Atypical depression | To now , nothing seems bad and no side effects , even I eat what I ever want with no problems ( don't do this please ) | I've atypical depression with slowed thinking process and social withdraw , I know it's early to give a feedback in 6 days only , but it seems promising and working gradually for me , I've been on more than 30 meds ( inc. Antidepressants , antipsychotics , mood stablizers , benzo , stimulants .. etc ) nothing worked realy like what nardil did in 6 days only , I still have symptomps of depression but but still early to judge this drug now but very optimistic about it because it's my last hope in life , I will update in 5 weeks ( to be full therapeutic 6 weeks ) and hope it could work for me . For inquiries I've put my email . | M | 20 | 8 days 60 | 2/20/2017 | 5 | Depression, severe anxiety, ADD | constipation, hypotension, insomnia, dizziness, mild euphoria | Nardil saved my life. I have tried everything and nothing has worked until Nardil. | M | 12 months 75 1X day | 2/5/2017 | 5 | Depression, OCD, Panic attacks, GAD | small weight gain, only permanent s-effect. No other problems. | This medicine is a life saver. Best ever. Zapped me out of depression totally, got me working and studying. helped my anxiety massively. People who it doesn't work for don't give it enough time. Took a good 6 weeks to work for me. Minimum dose needed usually is 60mg daily. MAOI's are NOT dangerous, they are very effective medications when used responsibly (as is the case with all medicines). I have not had ANY problems with Nardil, only blessings. | M | 28 | 9 years 30mg 2X day | 1/24/2017 | 5 | Depression, Anxiety | a little bit of weight gain. No real problems at all. When I started it there were quite a few side-effects, but all, except small weight gain, left. | A wonderful medication. Tried SSRI's and TCA's, but Nardil is amazing and greatly superior. Anything from 60mg upwards works awesome for me. Over 14 years it has worked very well. Once I went off it and my life was a nightmare; trapped inside all day with suicidal ideation. Went back on, and life was great again. | M | 38 | 14 years 30mg 2X day | 10/16/2016 | 5 | Depressive episodes | After trying many other antidepressants in 1970s, put on Nardil as my mother has been helped enormously by it. In 90s stopped > depression > tried Venlafaxine, no good, back to Nardil. One mishap with Marmite (bad headache) but avoid that and hard cheese, no other probs. It has saved my life, sanity, marriage! | M | 62 | 30 years 15mg 3X day | 9/1/2016 | 3 | depression anxiety, panic | I am getting off Pristiq now to get on Nardil. PLEASE tell me it will work. I have tried it all this year...except antipsychotics. I have anxiety that builds to hysterical crying most days, that leads to severe depression ND suicidal thoughts. I have 3 small children and I am barely hanging on. | F | 37 | 1 days 30 MG | 3/27/2016 | 3 | Treatment resistant depression | Lots of side effects: hypotension, insomnia at night, sleepiness during the day, lack of sex drive, headaches and dizziness initially that have since gone away. But by far the worst side effect so far is the muscle tension. I curl my toes as tight as they'll go, my jaw clenches uncontrollably, the muscles under my chin clench, my hands sometimes curl and distort. I'm a little concerned that it's some kind of tardive dyskensia but I left a message for my doctor 5 days ago and told him if I need to change something or stop taking it to let me know. So far he hasn't gotten back to me so obviously these symptoms aren't too worrisome for him. No one else has posted these symptoms except a couple with jaw clenching. Anyone else experience these? Do they go away with time? | Seems to be helping sometimes but other times I'm right back to feeling worse. Not sure yet about it's efficacy. | F | 31 | 1 months 75 3X day | 3/2/2016 | 4 | depression | If I don't get enough rest, I experience cramps in my legs .. not in the usual back muscles, but the front muscles. Across the top of my feet, front shins, front thighs. These cramps are quite severe and take about 15 minutes or more to subside. | I have tried many anti-depressants from all families, but always come back to Nardil. It has been the best medication for me. It initially gives me a boost, but after a prolonged period of time this medication plateaus. It's important for me not to stop taking it because I'm feeling better .. I must continue the meds. Being a very old anti-depressant, I have to let the pharmacist know I need a refill ahead of time; sometimes it needs to be ordered in. | M | 62 | 15 years 60 mg 1X day | 1/13/2016 | 5 | anxiety | insomnia | love this med | M | 44 | 24 years 45 1X day | 11/6/2015 | 5 | Depression, Anxiety | Constipation, Inorgasmia, weight gain. | Brilliant medication. Completely eradicated my depression and almost all of my anxiety. No social phobia when on this medication! For a while I was in an almost constant euphoric state. Still works well after 12 years. Side effects are tolerable and can be managed, and most go after a while. The dietary restrictions are hardly even noticeable. MAOI's obliterate SSRI's. Nardil is an excellent medication, safe and VERY effective. | M | 36 | 12 years 30 2X day | 8/15/2015 | 5 | social anxiety | M | 57 | 20 years 45 1X day | 8/1/2015 | 5 | depression, panic attacks | Not so many side effects after so many years | Nardil saved my life and still do-It's is the only antidepressant that worked and still works for me==dosage amount since 1981 =old nardil= 45 mg a day-New nardil= since 1994= 90mg a day | M | 67 | 34 years 30mg 3X day | 5/20/2015 | 3 | Depression,anxiety, chronic insomni | I had the most horrendous headaches on this drug which affected my stomach as well. It worked on the depression well but I had to quit because the headaches were so horrible that they lasted weeks after I had stopped the nardil | This medicine would have perfect except for the horrendous headaches. I started being able to speak like I used to and lifted the depression etc but it was horrible headaches I had. | F | 59 | 30 days 45 4X day | 4/25/2015 | 5 | depression...anxiety | First time taking it felt like fainting when standing. This is my second time and no side effects...so far so good! | My life line. Done me very good so far. I expect it to do very well again. | F | 37 | 8 days 90mg | 4/12/2015 | 3 | Anxiety / Depression | Insomnia, weight gain (15 lbs), bloating, constipation, sexual dysfunction, fatigue, low blood pressure | Nardil worked well the first time I took it, which lasted for a year until it didn't seem to help me when stress at work was getting bad. I switched to Marplan, which was awful, and then to Parnate. After about nine months on Parnate I became chronically fatigued, had trouble concentrating, and felt agitated all the time (too much NE), and eventually left my job due to poor work performance and worsening symptoms. I eventually switched back to Nardil, but it never worked like it did the first time I took it. When my pdoc and I pushed the dose to 75 mg I became hypomanic and very irritable/aggressive. I eventually experienced a mixed state that lasted for a few weeks. I also experienced brain zaps while coming off Nardil, which I've never experienced before with any other meds (Parnate was a pain to discontinue, also). I discontinued the drug quicker than recommended, over the course of about 2-3 weeks. | M | 34 | 5 months 30 2X day | 2/24/2015 Patient History | 5 | Depression | NONE | M | 37 | 10 years 60 1X day | 11/12/2014 |
