I remain wary, also. Besides, I no longer believe in magic pills or patches. (Or, I try not to get my hopes too high.) [I bought liquid deprenyl and one drop of it daily (1mg) made me increasingly anxious and sweaty as the days went by...so I have $68.00 worth of a $69.00 bottle.] Getting back to the original question in this thread, I wouldn't want a Nardil patch. Nardil (like most meds) puts me into 12 to 16 hour sleeps. I hope it becomes available for those it would help. AIDs and cancer drugs are given fast tracks. If Congress and the FDA experienced chronic mental health probs, I'm sure drugs for my winter depression, suicidal impulses, wasted youth/missed opportunities/social phobia/ sleepiness....etc...I'm sure treatments would be more available. Too bad the nature of mental illness is self-involvement and not political activism. Oh well, River.
