I was put on Nardil and at first it was a dream drug, it wiped out my anxiety and was helping with my depression and I was sleeping better. Then I developed ataxia (incoordination) which led to several falls out of the blue. They were definitely not a result of the postural hypotension that MAOIs can cause. So my doc took me off of it. Well, after trying everything else in the world, includine stimulants, I am now in another washout to go back on Nardil at a lower dose that we know doesn't cause the ataxia. Thanks to the help of Juno and Steve here on this board I maybe adding Nortryptiline to it so that will help with the depression. ANYWAYS, enough about me...what intolerable side effects are you/have you experienced? Maybe we can all help. I wish you the best.
