I completly forget to talk about the "reformulation" of Nardil as well as the Parnate.

I ask severals doctors and pharmacists about that issue and the majority of them was not aware of the change in the formulation back in 2003. My new psychiatrist explain to me last week that they run out of stock in Canada back in 2003 but he was not aware of the new reforlumation...

Most of the people that I ask say that no difference was perceive in the efficacity of Nardil after the reformulation...But apparently, a lot of people seem to have the same problem and have to increase their dosage to reach the same effect reach with the old one...Also, at the same time, side effects seem to be more prominent with the new formulation, probably because of the augmentation of the dosage.

I know that they did the same with Parnate as well. So i'm not sure if it will be good for you or not to switch to Parnate over Nardil??? The coating hard-shell change to the soft one seem to be the main problem with parnate also.

I read the "new" Parnate facts sheet from the GSK compagny, the USA and the Canada formulations, both say that it's coating from a hard-shell made of wax and others inactive ingredients like that... But I look at my pills and it's not made with a hard shell. I cut one Parnate pill to see the difference and that's a soft sheel, mean that you have to swallow very fast the pill because it will disolve rapidly in your mouth. And i'm not talking about the bad taste...nothing compare to the New Nardil who taste like "old" red wine...Parnate taste is ok...

That's a lot frustrating to see that they do that change without notice even the doctors or the pharmacist.

I hope that i'm wrong with the parnate...I hope the change in the coat sheel will not change his effect...
