Dr La Puma,
I have severe depression and anxiety. After over 25 combination trials of medication, therapy, exercise and ECT, only nardil provides some relief. Unforunately, I gain about 30lbs and meet criteria for obesity on nardil. I think it might be related to hypoglyemia and carbohydrate cravings nardil induces (blood glucose is between 65 and 70). I often awake at 3 or 4 AM with low blood sugar and must eat high carbohydrate meal stop the hunger pains. Traditional remedies do not help such as exercise and reduced calorie diets. Do have any suggestions on how to lose weight on nardil? Would glucagon or glucophage be helpful?
Thank you,
Jumpy
