I am in a hurry, and will respond at length later.
Of course brands can differ in pharacokinetic parameters, and brands are made to stricter standards than generics. However, that there could be such a difference for someone such that there is a COMPLETE LOSS OF THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE _AND_ a dosage adjustment doesn't work seems unlikely to me.
Please do not hurl invectives at me. I certainly wasn't whining, and I was not being sarcastic when I said that I want to know everything about this.
Not for nothing, but people who are insecure in argument generally take the tone you did with me.Please let me know how you can reconcile the fact that the "New" Nardil conspiracy proponents claim that the excipients in the tablet are the problem--because the tablet isn't dissolving SLOWLY enough or even making it to the intestine--yet a LIQUID NARDIL ELIXIR is supposed to be the answer. Enteric coated? Not enteric coated? Liquid, solid, quick release, slow release, what? And in no way was the "old" Nardil formulated as a sustained release preparation.
Moreover, that stratguitar web site even goes so far as to claim that the "new" Nardil can dissolve in the MOUTH before it gets to the intestine! Come on ...
The reason the phenelzine is formulated as a SALT is to SURVIVE the acidity of the stomach! None of them seem to get this.
