It appears my posting has really struck a cord with you! First, I think you need to re-read my posting a bit more carefully. I did not suggest, point blank, of mixing Nardil and Adderal. Rather, I posed it as a question (note "?" after the sentence). Secondly, both Nardil and Adderal require prescriptions, thus I’m assuming any cocktailing would be done under Dr’s supervision. Finally, I too have read articles where the augmentation of a MAO has proved effective in the treatment of drug resistant depression. Certainly, this is not a first line of treatment, but something that should be considered when other, more conventional, forms of drug treatment have failed.
I don't pretend to be a physician. Rather, I'm one of the many thousands who have not been helped by AD’s or have been helped only temporarily. Thus, I use this site to elicit "out of the box" thinking that may be of use or at least worthy of further investigation. I've tried many of the suggestions offered herein, and always under my Dr's supervision. Most contributors of this site are incredablely knowledgeable and caring. And, unlike most physicians, they have first hand knowledge of the frustrations of the disease and the unpleasant effects of the drugs used to treat the disease. Reading about other’s experiences, which are similar to mine, and were not always mentioned by my Dr., has been very helpful and comforting.
In the future, I will preface my comments with words of caution where applicable. I wholeheartedly apologize to anyone who might have misinterpreted my posting as a tested form of treatment, rather then a thought provoking question as was my intent.
You need to drop the sarcasm and try a more thoughtful approach. To attack someone who took time to respond is not what this forum is all about.
