Then it was like a light bulb turned on and the depression and anxiety literally melted away. Everything was great for 7 months at 90mg.

Pdoc discontinued Nardil over 7 days. 1 day after my last nardil dose, I woke up blind, paralyzed, and confused. Was diagnosed with PRES, a reversible swelling of the back of the brain caused by blood pressure fluctuation.
