In reply to Nardil/Abilify- Trouble Losing Weight, posted by AZLIZZY on October 4, 2008, at 12:55:54
> I have been taking Nardil for (2) months and Abilify for the past (2) weeks. I have been on a weight loss program and have not been able to lose any weight in the past (2) weeks. I have cut my caloric intake in half and have been walking (2) miles per day. This may not seem like alot to some, but I weigh 310 and have not been active much in the past. I am so frustrated, because in the past I have been able to lose and average of (15) pounds in a month doing the same things I am currently attempting. Has anyone had trouble losing weight w/ Nardil or Abilify? I have heard that Nardil can cause weight gain, but did not expect this much resistance. Does it affect the thyroid or slow down the metabolism? I have only been having trouble since I reached the 75 mg dosage of Nardil, which seems therapeutic for me. Prior to reaching my current dosage, I was able to lose some weight. Any thoughts?
My wife could not lose any weight while taking zoloft until she added 20 mcg of t3 into her regimin and than she began losing two pounds per week. Maybe take a thyroid test and see where your t3 levels are. If your doc says their normal see where you are in the range. Low normal while normal may be too low for you.
