> Ace - what is the NEW Nardil and what is the OLD and what is the difference. How does one know what one is getting? I live in Canada and I am asking on behalf of a friend (I am on Parnate).

First of ball, I hope the Parnate is working well- it can be a great drug for some.
With regards to the new and old Nardil- the new Nardil actually has a different chemical structure- I can't remember the specifics but will be investigating soon. Bottom line but- It's a different compound.
The old Nardil is much more orange in colour...the newer is greyish orange. If your friend is getting it from Canada I would say it is the new version.
I believe in time the old Nardil will come back....people just have to persist with the FDA and Pfizer.
It's bad that this has happened- I am so fortunate to have the old Nardil in Australia, but I feel very much sorry for my fellow Nardil users who have relapsed on this new version.
Good luck to you and your friend,And I urge your friend to direct complaints to FDA officials and Pfizer- see Tepiaca's post above.
