Hi Meri

First of all, for a doc to say it's impossible to get and to fly abroad is RIDICULOUS! You'd do yourself a favour to change docs. Half the pharmacies I visit already have some instock, so who's prescribing it?

I think that 'eventually', if you go through enough doctors, one is eventually going to think "MAOI". I been through meds for 6 years before I got lucky. Not long compared to some, but it was the amount of various meds I'd tried, combined with a pdoc who had his 'head screwed on' that the 'offer' was made.

I've always got pretty much my own way with docs (apart from MAOIs), especially GPs. I've nearly always gone in with my own suggestions and if they say no, I see a different doc untill I find one who will. Just be convincing yet 'pushy'. And always describe to them your 'worst' days. Normally does the trick.

For Nardil, if you dont have a psychiatrist, ask your GP for a referal. In Bristol it takes little more than 2 to 4 weeks for an assesment.
Gather up as much 'positive' literature as you can find on Nardil (+ your condition), making sure all print outs contain refernces. Educate yourself so they can see you 'know' what you're talking about. Then just keep on and on and on and ON at them! Eventually you'll 'get through' LOL.

Its also a good idea to look for & take part in Universtiy studies, often taking part at the local Psychopharmacology clinics. Thats how I got on Nardil.

Best of luck.
