Leo, Please post after your visit to the hospital on Monday. Who will you be seeing there and do they have a good reputation for treating depression. After you had success with Nardil, what other meds have worked for you? I too had luck with Nardil for only 2 years, but I remember feeling "normal".
I recently reviewed all my notes from drug trials since 1987, and only Nardil, Marplan (2 years) and a combination of Wellbutrin, Adderall and Celexa (4 years, partial response, enough to allow me to work) provided marked relief. I thought the MAO's seemed to give me the most complete resolution of symptoms though. A retrial with Marplan this year failed.
Have you retried Nardil? I wanted to do this before my current trial with Emsam but pdoc wanted to try Emsam first. Of course, I agreed and had some intial improvement but now with diminishing returns. I am currently also trying Adderall with Emsam, risky, but as far as I'm concerned, no risk, no life... SG
