> I took Nardil for five or six months, up until mid-November last year. I got up to 120mg and stayed there for two months or so. I never got any benefit from it, but I also only had mild side effects-- anorgasmia and orthostatic hypotension. That's all.

> Nardil was recalled in early November, so I'm thinking I may have been taking some of the bad batch. Is it worth trying again?I think it is. It could have been a bad patch. You can investigate this first. Nardil is known to work 95% of the time.
> Or should I try Parnate? Or moclobemide?I would definately try Parnate if Nardil was a bad batch. People have been known to respond wonderfully to Parnate after a Nardil non-response. Leave Moclobemide to last - this drug, albeit very good, seems to need higher and higher doses to sustain therapeutic effects. Whatever the case, your with the MAOIs now - you'll be safe!
