Hey Jedi
Did you lose faith in nardil or did you decide you wanted to go med free....why so many attempts to stop? just curious as Ive yet to make that attempt and no interest at all any time soon. To me this med is so "clean" I dont even notice in my body at all anymore just in my behaviours. Thats an ideal med to me but I do miss the stimulation that it once gave me.

It seems like most good PDOCs seem to locate in the larger cities. So when I am slowly tapering down, I always save up a stash to get me by until I can find someone to prescribe the medication.
