Mantus, Please don't worry about any fear mongering involving Nardil. There are many that have been on this medication for decades. It has to be taken with respect, but is a lot less dangerous than believed in the past. It is also the only medication that will work for some of us. Yes, it is a hydrazine derivative, so what! Sodium is a metal that burns and can explode violently in water. Chlorine is a poisonous gas. Combined they make salt. A substance we can not live without.It is one medication that can work when all else fail. In my opinion, it is the Gold Standard for atypical depression and social anxiety. I trust Nardil more than many of the newer medications. It has been around for more than 50 years.
The side effects can be worked around. Depression is life threatening. Serious disease sometimes requires serious medications. Obviously chemotherapy is poison, but how many has it saved? Any disease that will take away our survival instinct and have us considering the long dirt nap is a very serious disease. Most people who take their own life suffer from this disease. We are not talking a case of the blues here. We are talking about treatment resistant, down on the floor in a fetal position, life threatening, DEPRESSION!
Good luck in your attempt to make Nardil work for you.
Be Well,
Jedi
