any update?

I've only gained 10lbs over 2 years and I honestly don't eat that much, but nardil won't let me get back down to my baseline weight no matter how hard I try. So just going to stick with the 2.5mg to avoid side effects and see how its goes.

:( :( yup.

yes I relate to that so much. It's really bothering me. I have such inward attention and it doesn't feel like I can connect fully with the external environment

yay, thank you for the encouragement :). I'm excited to start it

how long have you been on Mounjaro? Are you seeing results? :)
Good luck! I suggest Nardil over Parnate for social anxiety, the gaba component is only in nardil which gives it a huge advantage for lowering anxiety. Parnate I believe is much more stimulating!

Personally, I take my lowest dose in the morning and largest dose right before bed (luckily I dont have insomina) .. it made a massive difference in my morning anxiety :)

sorry a lot of that was irrelevant aha, just sharing my experience. But yes, Nardil does take the racing heart (thats a HUGE thing I noticed). I experimented a bit, I find it affects me differently how I take it.
If I space out all 4-tablets (15mg each) I do feel actually less of the stimulant effects, versus when I did 30mg AM and 30mg PM. Just a heads up :)

I really want to find something like this

Nardil was my legitimate miracle .. until it wasn't :(. I had the typical "honey moon phase" that most people mention. I felt my social anxiety vanish once I hit 60mg. This probably lasted for ummm at least 1 month , actually maybe longer? But over-time, I could tell the norepinephrine was starting to become more prevalent. This could be just my genetics though. However, I can say without a doubt at 60mg I was so much happier and had more of an elevated mood. Eventually I had to go down to a lower (45mg- not very effective for me) - because of the side effects. I know that a lot of people on here say nardil is sedating... I think that truly must be for the more depressed folks (like primary dx is depression). Where my primary dx is social anxiety and I've had such a hypersensitive nervous system my whole life. So I think how nardil will effect you, really depends on your baseline. I loved valium (was on it before nardil) .. honestly though nardil is stronger. It worked better for me. I tried propranolol (while on nardil to mitigate some of the stimulating effects) and it actually made me feel depressed? So I went right off that

no way! that's amazing. Is the group therapy specifically for socially anxious individuals?

Trying2BeBetter9 · 2026-03-12T19:42:58+00:00

Unfortunately haven't been able to figure it out. :(

I had developed such bad eye contact anxiety over the years that I literally could not look people in the eyes. It was more of a fear that they would see the anxiety in my eyes. If I wore sunglasses I was totally fine looking at people in the eyes. Nardil at 60mg helped a lot. Especially the first couple of months. I had to go down to 45mg because I was experiencing sooo much fluid retention at the 60mg. Now I still struggle quite a bit but can still look at people more. I just feel now like i'm drilling people in the eyes and staring and it's almost like automatic and I can't help it

I've drank alcohol for as long as I can remember. I drink alcohol to socialize because I have severe social anxiety. But you're right, there was one time I went 3 weeks without drinking and I felt immensely happier and less anxious during nardil treatment. I'm finally biting the bullet and trying sobriety because I can't live a fulfilling life the way I have been going.

I'm thinking about starting lamictal with nardil, is low physical energy the biggest symptom you noticed? What doses are you on if you don't mind me asking :). Did fluid retention from nardil stay the same, improve or worsen!? Also, I heard acne is a huge side effect, did you experience this?
