> I dont need an A/P on Nardil. Parnate, yes.I meant that some people get an enhanced response to their antidepressant regimen from an adjunctive antipsychotic (AP). It does not make much intuitive sense, but some APs are officially approved for this use, which suggests that it is not unsual for this to be better than placebo.
