> So, to give you some feedback, I would say that although none of the versions of Nardil that are currently available in U.S. pharmacies are the same as the "old" Nardil, any one of them would probably be a good place to start. I think that I personally would be inclined to start with the Gavis phenelzine if I were taking the medication for depression and/or anxiety and had a choice as to which version to start out with, but the evidence for any differences between the three versions of Nardil/phenelzine seems to be extremely limited to say the least, and it's entirely anecdotal. Whatever version of Nardil/phenelzine you end up starting out with, assuming that you go ahead with taking the medication, I wish you luck. I know that I've included a lot of information in this post and that it might not necessarily make deciding how to proceed with your Nardil trial any easier, but I hope that it's been of at least some help. Please do feel free to let me know if you have any questions, though.

Hi Tomatheus-

Thanks so much for all of the info you provided! Regarding your statement above, I suppose I'll just take what the pharmacy gives me and hope for the best.

I finally have some clarity about my situation and I still think the switch to Nardil could be the right move. But, now I'm double guessing my choice as well. I remember taking Celexa years ago and doing well on it. Perhaps I should just switch back to Celexa from Lexapro and change my benzo from Valium to Ativan? I'll be starting TMS in 2 weeks as well.

I need a change, for sure, but I just don't know anymore, and while my pdoc is patient and working with me, he doesn't give me any concrete or convincing arguments one way or another. I'm really pretty lost at the moment.

Thanks again,

b
