Jono_in_adelaide,
What you're saying about Nardil is completely untrue. In the U.S., Nardil had an enteric coating until the formulation was changed in 2003. See this recent post of mine for details:

Next, you asked "why is there this feeling that the new formulation needs to be enteric coated in order to work?" My answer to your question is that first, I haven't seen the claim made that Nardil needs to be enteric coated to work for everybody. There are obviously some individuals who respond to the current film-coated version of Nardil, and I have yet to read anything from anybody that disputes this. The idea that an enteric-coated version of Nardil may be both more effective and more tolerable in some individuals than the current film-coated version of the medication is based on the fact that many individuals reported noticing a loss of effectiveness and an increase in side effects after the medication's formulation was changed in 2003. One of the differences (but not the only difference) between the "old" and "new" versions of Nardil was that the "old" version was enteric coating. In addition to the fact that some individuals reported noticing a difference in the way that their Nardil worked after the 2003 formulation change, I and one other Psycho-Babble member have reported noticing an increase in Nardil's effectiveness after switching from taking the film-coated tablets to taking a version of Nardil that involved putting the contents of the tablets into enteric capsules. The other Psycho-Babble member and I are obviously just two individuals, and we haven't made the claim that everybody will be able to replicate the results that we noticed, but we did notice a difference between taking film-coated Nardil tablets and putting the contents of the tablets into enteric capsules.
