As far as stopping and restarting Nardil is concerned, I would say that the longer you take it, the greater the risk that it won't work again if you stop and restart it. That's why I suggested to either commit to taking it indefinitely now, rather than to begin taking it with the intention of stopping it in the future in order to try other things. If you do want to try other things, I would stop taking Nardil now and keep it in your back-pocket knowing that it probably has not already produced drug-induced refractoriness. Of course, if you do choose to take Nardil, there may be completely novel and wholly effective treatments found for your condition in the years to come which might allow you to discontinue the drug. These would include brain stimulation techniques, whether invasive or non-invasive. For example, ECT, rTMS, and DCS are considered to be non-invasive brain stimulation treatments. I didn't like ECT.
Guarantees are hard to come by.
Damn these illnesses. They steal our essence of personhood as human beings and give nothing in return but pain and isolation.
