Merital

Posted by John on November 28, 1999, at 16:37:27

Merital was the name I was looking for. First psyc drug that
was ever prescribed to me, and it worked wonders. Few side
effects( a little sleeplesness) but it provided clarity
and peace of mind. Has any research been done on making
a drug close to that one, or it there a drug close to that
one? Only thing that comes close is a combo of Resperdal
and Wellbutrion....and they both work on dopamine...
Have stepped up to 1mg Resperdal PM & 150mg Wellbutrion AM.
Will make another Dr's appt this week. Are there many
other experiences or research on this combo?
Thanks, John

James here....Nomifensine (Merital) was withdrawn from the market (USA) because of immunologic complications.

Reboxetine has been compared to these drugs. Check the IAS website for ordering info.

 

Merital or Meritol?

In the mid 80s I took an AD called Meritol which was incredibly effective for me. It was abruptly pulled from the market for health risk reasons. I think we may be talking about the same med. Perhaps I am not remembering the spelling correctly. Since then I have been searching for something comparable with absolutely no luck. No one even remembers Meritol. If we are talking about the same med I would like to look into those recommended by James and Jen. Any more input would be greatly appreciated!
