Hope you are doing well. Interesting post. Although I do not take meds in the MAOI class I was checking my new healthcare's drug list. Nardil is the only MAOI avalable and is a "tier 3" drug which means the copay is the about the same as the cost. No other MAOI meds are listed. Evidently healthcare companies may also be considering these drugs obsolete. Good Luck. JN
