> Stopping and restarting Nardil does work. Since you have decided to discontinue the Nardil in favor of other avenues, you will have a great opportunity to reintroduce it in the future. I would give it at least a month before going back to it. The last time I heard of this strategy working for somebody, they were off it for three months. In addition, switching between Nardil and Parnate often works. My doctor has had a patient for whom he switches between Nardil and Parnate as each begins to poop-out on him.

Two weeks ago, I decided that it was in my best interests to intervene by starting a combination of Parnate and desipramine. I have begun to feel better.

Scott: I'm so glad you are starting to feel better. And good for you for taking things into your own hands (Sometimes it is the ONLY way
to get out of the quicksand. I think any depressed person who can advocate for himself in the midst of a depression could be called a hero.)

On 9-22 you answered a post of mine on my "stimulating" combination of meds (which includes the herb yohimbe). You asked many questions. But since you are on a new combo, I don't know if you still need the answers; I will be glad to answer them if you do. Just let me know.

Stephanie
