Should I try nardil? some questions

Posted by quiet_one on October 19, 2005, at 5:12:04

I have been on all the SSRI's, SNRI's, and a few TCA's with no success. I am very sensitive to meds, so half of them I didn't last longer than a day due to severe side effects (usually bad insomnia and dizzyness).

I have been thinking about trying nardil for a while now. I also have social phobia, so I thought nardil would be best in treatment resistant depression + social phobia. However, being as sensitive as I am to drugs, am I likely to suffer bad side effects from it? Is insomnia usually one of them, or is that more common in parnate?

I am from australia and i'm unsure if its still on the PBS? Anyone here from australia on it and know? Whats this I hear about the "new" nardil? Is there a choice between going on the "old" or "new" nardil, or is it all the new one now? If so is it just as effective as the old one?

I heard that it works quicker than the SSRI's, is this true?

Finally, how bad are the food restrictions? Can you eat processed cheese commonly found in mcdonalds burgers etc? Or would this be too risky? Is it possible to carry around a med that lowers blood pressure, to use as an "antidote" should a hypertensive crisis occur?

I feel as though i've tried everything, so i'm hoping if I tried this it will work. What are my chances?
