I am one the original Nardil success stories (here on this board). I was on Nardil for 3 years, then Parnate for a bit, and am now medication free. My decision to try Nardil only came after several years of lackluster response to SSRIs, Wellbutrin, Effexor, combo's, benzo's, etc.

My advice to you, is that most people DO respond well to SSRIs, effexor, etc. I think that it's generally harder to gauge the correct dosage (and medication for that matter) when it comes to SSRIs, and as a result, we see a HUGE side-effect profile, apathy, "poop-out" etc...with that said, my experience with nardil was most definitely life changing, as I hope it is for you.

Keep in mind, just like every other antidepressant, the efficacy varies from person to person. Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress.
