When I first started Nardil, all the information said that it should kick in after about three weeks. For me, after three weeks, still nothing. I had a paperback called FROM SAD TO GLAD, I think by Nathan Brandan?; anyway he said that it could take up to six weeks for an MAOI. I was horribly depressed and read that page everyday from week3 to week5, and sure enough my breakthrough was at five weeks. At that time the only two choices were tricyclics (which I couldn't take) and MAOIs, so I was feeling pretty desperate. I think that book saved my life. shellie
