> I think that the main problem will be find the doctor in Slovakia who would give me a prescription for Nardil. I know that he could do it(write me a prescription for Nardil/Parnate) but I am afraid that I will not be able to find anyone who would do it for me.I have never used the RIMAs, but I agree with Scott. Everything that I have read tells me the efficacy is just not there. Moclobemide was never approved in the US, I am assuming because of lack of proven efficacy.
The dangers from phenelzine and tranylcypromine are blown way out of proportion. These meds often help people that have failed trials with countless other ADs and augmenters. I know I have been on 45+ different combinations and Nardil is the only medication to work for me. If you are treatment resistant, have atypical depression and social anxiety; these "OLD" MAOIs can be lifesavers.
Be Well,
