Hi
>Thanks for the support.......
I'm not attacking you, I'm simply stating my views.
>I know he would be better off with the old Nardil
How can you possibly know that?
>More alarming than this one drug is the fact that the FDA pretty much allows these manufactureres to change a drug in any way and NOT TELL ANYONE
The manufacturer didn't change the drug. The drug is phenelzine sulfate, just as it always was. The manufacturer altered the excipients once they had gained FDA approval to do so. The approval was based on evidence that the new formulation was bioequivalent to the old one.
I am sorry that Nardil no longer relieves your symptoms in the way that it once did. It is a sad fact that psych meds frequently 'poop out' after prolonged use. Alternatively, people's underlying condition(s) can change, rendering their medication ineffective.
When I started this thread I was taking the risk that I would make myself unpopular. I did so because I believe that this thread will be a valuable source of information.
