Tech, so happy for you! Did you know Marplan was discontinued in 1994 by Roche and just came out again this past year? I was doing beautifully on it from 1991-1993, and when it was discontinued, I fell hard and it took years to find anything that worked again.
I tried Marplan this past year, perhaps I didn't try long enough (or at a dose that would help) but I was so excited it was re-released that I asked my pdoc to put me on it. Unfortunately I failed the trial...now I'm on Nardil and starting to see results.
What we all should realize is that Marplan and Nardil were both reformulated and can work again, but usually at much higher doses than their original version. I'm on Nardil 60mg and when I took it in 1989 I was on 30 mg.
What dose of Marplan are you on? I was on 30 when it worked in the early 90's and my trial of Marplan this past year was along with Lamictal, which casued alot of SE's. I believe now that my trial with Marplan was probably stopped too early. Perhaps a dose of Marplan >30 might have worked better than Marplan with Lamictal.
