> > I really wish you were able to give nardil a good trial. The MAOIs are known to be the most potent antidepressants, giving the fullest/most dramatic response to patients. My situation was similar to yours, I finally responded to nardil at 60mg per day after 5 weeks. It was like a light switch one morning. I felt nothing before the 5th week and even asked my pdoc to try something else. Luckily, my pdoc made me stick it out til I responded. Now I am married, have a great job, jog 3 times a week and travel. Before nardil, I couldn't get out of bed!

I have had some weight gain, insomnia and delayed orgasm on nardil .... none have fade over time. These side effects were much more tolerable then persistant depression I had with SSRIs and effexor.
