I've never used Nardil but a poster named ace has maintained this healthy euphoric state peculiar to Nardil for years. Maybe you could babblemail him or leave a message here. I think he started a thread for people with questions on Nardil; you can search the archives
What bothers me is that you were increasing the response to Nardil by an order of magnitude with other stuff. The fact that it felt like ecstasy or meth means there was overproduction of the neurotransmitter dopamine. It's been said that chronic use of ecstasy or coke or meth depletes the bits of the brain responsible for dopamine production, and the user becomes dysthemic and anhedonic - quite literally burnt out. The studies should be easy to find online. I'm not discouraging you because I guarantee there's an a solution for you; I just want to give my idea on what could have happened to you. I don't think it's SAD.
There are many strategies you can try, like augmenting Nardil with Wellbutrin or a stimulant or something like nortiptyline. Switching to Parnate is another option, and you can also augment it in the same way. Plus there are meds like lithium and tianeptine that have neuroprotective properties.
Keep the hope alive - you will get getter.
