I will ignore the tones of supreriority used in some posts, as no one here is an expert in pharmaceuticals. And I'm sure all of you have complained that doctors don't know the truth about certain meds, and that we as users are the ones who notice the effects - so let's not be hypocritical.
As a user of old and new nardil, here are some FACTS, not opinions:
1. New Nardil does dissolve much quicker and will be broken down by saliva in a matter of minutes
2. Put a new nardil tab and old nardil tab in a cup
of water. Observe. then post a reply.
3. Excipients are extremely important. They effect absorbancy and release rate, among othe things
4. New Nardil is not nearly as effective as Old nardil. Period.
5. Putting nardil in enteric cap - yes, it helps
6. Adding acacia to the mix - no, it didn't help
6. Adding kaolin and bees wax (invert sugar) - yes, it helps
7. Adding white wax - yes, it helps
8. Shelf life issue - yes there are issues
9. There are problems with the formula - let's just say a chemist from a company that makes it admitted as much to me.There's no conspiracy, guys. It's really quite simple - the med was changed, and many people don't metabolize it as well. That's all
