Phoenix...it is different than the side effects of the SSRI's. The side effects with Nardil tend to be mostly physical (for me) but for some strange reason those are preferable to the mental effects of SSRI's where my mood was never better but physically I think I was. I was suicidal with one SSRI and my doctor said to increase the dose! Now that can't be good advice, can it?
Maybe because I can tolerate physical symptoms since all I had before were mental ones and those really feel like you can't change them without stopping the meds which I had to do many times. At least with weight gain, I force myself to eat better and exercise more. Those are better effects of a med if you can change your behavior.
It seems like I have more control over the physical SE's, except gas (although I haven't tried anything to remedy that yet)so it could be better perhaps. My dizziness or loss of balance I just force myself to slow down and watch where I am going, which seems like good advice anyway.
Did you know that the newer Nardil contains Simethicone? That is a medicine for gas. They must have added it to the newer Nardil since th previous version didn't have it. That means the incredible amount of gas I sometimes get would be worse than it is if this wasn't added. Now that is a nasty SE.
