If you do not notice a problem then you have nothing to worry about. Me, I got my refill last month and noticed the pills looked different (lighter in color, no hard outer coating), and I started having withdrawl symptoms that night. I knew the pills were screwed up. I got online and what do you know I am not the only one.
Supposedly Pfizer changed some of the "inactive" ingredients to make it more consumer friendly (e.g. no sugar) and improve shelf life. Some are theorizing that one of the removed ingredients, kaolin, was slowing the digestion/absorbtion of the phenelzine, and now it's passing though the system too quickly. Personally I think something got screwed up in the manufacturing process, as I don't think the inactive ingredients would make much of a difference. There was a bad batch of the old Nardil earlier this year... it seems to me that they have screwed up again.
