Nardil (Phenelzine) is metabolized in the liver. Byproducts are metabolites called phenylacetic acid and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. There are other minor metabolites too.
None of these should raise any questions on a drug screen. There wouldn't be a false-positive for amphetamines. I've HEARD that Parnate has amphetamine like metabolites, but Nardil definitely does not. You should be safe.
Anyone else want to agree or disagree? I'm not a toxicologist, so I can't guarantee my answer, but I'm pretty sure...
