Hi Robert,
I have been on Nardil with clonazepam for most of the past ten years. It is the only medication I have found, out of many trials, that helps my treatment resistant atypical depression and social anxiety. Currently I am working on a letter to my MD to see if he will let me add modafinil to help with the residual anhedonia and apathy. I wish Parnate would have worked for me because of less weight gain and orgasm delay. But, sadly it didn't.Nardil is not without problems, but for many people-when it works, it is like seeing the light. When it started working for me, the first time I used it, the effects were amazing.
I have taken both the old and new version of the medication. I believe there is some difference but the main ingredient, phenelzine sulfate, and it's metabolites are the same.
Good luck on your trial.
Be Well,
Jedi> thanks again questionmark!! I have found over the last couple of years that my anxiety is much reduced in certain situations due to me working on it so to speak and hopefully the pills will improve on that and in other times too. Im glad you have found what works for you as it really is a debilitating illness for anyone. If it wasnt for the internet I wouldnt even know I had this condition I just thought I was an awkward person or just extremely shy or something, lol. Maybe, just maybe I will have as much success as you on the meds - only time will tell. Im not hoping for a miracle cure (well maybe thats a lie) but we'll see what happens. Thanks again.
