For Depression "It's encouraging to know that some people are on this med for years and seem to be doing well. It's also hard to believe because I had a horrendous experience. What's your daily dose? I was started on 15 mg daily and increased to 15 mg 3x daily. After 9 weeks, I developed psychosis, manic, hypomanic reactions, and had to be hospitalized. This was considered a rare side effect, but it happened to me. Have any other people become psychotic with Nardil or MAOIs?"

"My brother had a terrible reaction to Nardil. His behavior and personality changed immensely when he started taking it for depression, and then he hit bottom when he tried to get off it. Maybe it is a wonder drug for some, but if you start having hallucinations or your reality changes, please get help."

"I wasn’t diagnosed yet with bipolar. This was my first visit to my psychiatrist to treat my bipolar depression, which I thought was major depressive disorder. We went up to 90 mg Nardil because it wasn’t taking effect. Holy crap, did it feel amazing, but I was in an extreme state of mania. I spent so much money. I was delusional. It was not good for me. Way too strong, this is serious stuff. The diet sucks. I gained a lot of weight and literally could not poop. I had to take laxatives regularly. My appetite was also affected big time. All I wanted was cookies, cakes, any sweets I could get. I came off it because I could not ejaculate for the life of me. That was the tipping point after a few months. I got off it. I do not recommend this for anyone with bipolar 1 especially, nor for bipolar 2."
