In reply to Nardil - worthwhile?, posted by Robert Dott on July 7, 2006, at 14:57:11
> Hi, I am a 24 year old male from the UK who has social anxiety and depression. After reading about nardil i got my hopes up untill i read about the formulation changes. All i am asking is . . . is it worthwhile even considering now? (for someone who has not taken it before but tried other medication). I have tried parnate and it was very effective combined with klonopin but I read nardil was even better according to most. Also, is it still considered to be the single most effectve medication out there for SA and/or depression? most of the info and posts saying so is dated before the formulation change so it's very confusing! Im going back onto medication shortly so hopefully your feedback will help me come to the decision. Thanks for any input - robert. any questions you wanna ask me feel free or email me if you can , Thanks again!
I personaly think Nardil has aquired a love/hate profile......people who dont do well on it really dont,and people who do praise it,i personaly did not,but i am a logical person and i cant deny the hard proof from quite a few people here who say the drug has made a WORLD of difference here.
I also on the same not cant deny the hundreds upon hundreds of ex users,some who were vetern users for 20 plus years strongly protest the formulation change having such an effect.
All and all i definatly think it remains a strong option for SA and depression.
Id go over a few things if i were you,first google the words Nardil.....social anxiety group to view the entire community that exsists and soly addresses the formulation change.
This community feels so strong as to this problem that they have been attempting to address it in court,i dont know the outcome of that.
Id also google some old posts from Micheal bell,Ace,and chairman maoi arcvied to this group soly.
That should offer a balanced view.
I personaly would have jumped at the oppurnity to have tried the ORIGNAL Nardil,as i have not had success with the new one.
Some things to note.....Main issues with Nardil,which do have options are,
--- Weight gain
---- Sexual Dysfunction
Good luck on ur search.
