"after trying every other kind of antidepressant over the past 9 or so years, nardil was my first try at an maoi. the dietary restrictions were less difficult to get used to and less strict than they appeared at first. i was on 30mg of nardil a day and didn&#039;t notice any effect, but after increasing to 45mg/day, i felt the best i&#039;ve felt in years and it seemed that my depression might be cured at last. ...however, i also had the most side effects i&#039;ve ever had from a medication: constipation, difficulty urinating, insomnia, and inability to reach an orgasm. because of the bladder issues and insomnia, i&#039;ve been forced to resume my search."
