> So it looks like Nardil isn't going to work for me. I have severe anxiety, agoraphobia and depression. Nardil was pretty much my last hope since I've been on pretty much every other drug on the market. So what now? Could there be a physical cause no one is finding? Or am I just dead? I've lost most of my life to this. I had so much hope for Nardil. Now I fear my life is over.

> Where so you go when you've tried every class of meds? I think ECT is out. I've never heard of it helping anyone and I want to go to grad school. I need a brain to do that.If Nardil helps at all, adding nortriptyline and Klonopin might be worth considering. Otherwise, I would look at switching to imipramine and adding a benzodiazepine like Klonopin or Xanax XR.
There is some precedence for the use of imipramine in the treatment of panic disorder with agoraphobia.
Let us know what your doctor has to say.
Don't give up. You'll get there.
