> Mark,
> Nardil can and does work where Parnate fails. That is a S**tload of clonazepam! I used up to 5mg while I was waiting for Nardil to kick in the first time. Phenelzine is the "BOMB" for social anxiety and atypical depression. In my opinion it should be 2nd tier and not last resort for this diagnosis. It is a bloody crime that it is not available in your country. The stuff saved my life more than once! You can probably get all of the worthless SSRIs you want! Sorry! The MAOIs work where all others fail. I have been preaching about it on here for years. I did have 2 failed Parnate trials. Google some of my posts. This S**T works!
> Good Luck,
> JediThanks for you encouraging post! I know that's really much clonazepam, but less wouldn't do anything for me. Haven't taken it for too long without breaks (5 weeks).
I also have atypical depression since like 10+ years. Tried about 30 meds / combos, but to no avail.
My psychiatrist is cool and old-school, so getting a script for Nardil / phenelzine shouldn't be a problem. I don't know about import regulations, but guess - as the drug is approved in another EU country (UK) - it shouldn't be a problem. Other users from above were also able to get it. Insurance will very likely not pay for it, but that's OK.
PS: What's your Nardil dose?
