> The other group i mention that basicaly consists of veteran nardil users struggling to deal with the reformulation of nardil.
It was discussed here quite a bit when it was first reformulated. It might be that people have adapted their treatment dosages to accomodate any difference in bioavailability that there may be between the old and the new preparations.
The preparation was changed when it was discovererd that the amount of active ingredient, phenelzine, deviated too much from one pill to the next. I don't recall if it was a quality control problem or a shelf-life problem. Perhaps it was both.
Since I am convinced that there are bioavailability differences between generics and branded preparations, I have no reason to doubt that the reformulation of Nardil could have changed its effectiveness. However, I would think that an adjustment of dosage should remedy the problem. I don't know for sure, because I haven't actually experienced this problem myself. I still have the old Nardil lying around, and I never had to cross-over to the new Nardil.
I am not aware that there are conspiracy theories involved with this Nardil situation. Can anyone summarize the contentions?
