Hi Shellie,
Sorry I missed your earlier post about retrying nardil. I haven't done so because I gained a lot of weight on it and had other serious side effects I don't want to deal with again. I did try Parnate, but it didn't help, and I had a bad reaction to it when I was on a high dose. Haven't tried Marplan because of the weight gain issue, but may try selegiline in the future.
Did you stop the nardil because of poop-out? If that was the only reason, I'd bet if you started it again, it would work just fine.
good luck,
anita> Anita, since we've both had success with nardil, I wondering if you've ever gone back and retried Nardil. Also I wondering why you didn't switch to parnate when nardil became ineffective. Also, I can't remember if you have taken serzone.

I have this inclination to go back on nardil because it worked so well for me, with not very many side effects at 30mg for so many years. Or try parnate. My new pdoc is trying to keep me off of MAOIs because he feels they limit the augmentation process.
