Conundrum,

See below for my responses...

> Did you ever take the pfizer nardil without modifying its encapsulation and if so what happened?

Actually, no. I started with the Australian Nardil and was taking the regular film-coated tablets before I decided to put the contents of the tablets into enteric capsules. Before I used the enteric capsules, I experienced remission on the film-coated Australian Nardil for about two weeks after raising my dose from 60 to 75 mg. Upon reducing the dose back down to 60 mg, I also experienced a two-week-long remission. Putting the contents of the Australian Nardil tablets into enteric capsules prolonged my remission to a month, so when I got the psychiatrist I was seeing at the time to prescribe me Pfizer's Nardil, I just continued to use the enteric capsules that I was using for the Australian Nardil. As I've said, I did well on that version of Nardil for about two months.

> Were there any cognitive benefits with the MAOis?

I really didn't notice any cognitive benefits per se (improvements in learning or memory) when I took MAOIs, but then again, my cognition was pretty good back then. However, I would say that MAOIs were incredibly effective at reducing the severity of my psychomotor retardation (which some might consider to be a cognitive symptom) when they worked for me.
