I suddenly started getting strange reactions to the drug when I took it, nausea, poisoned feeling, scary stuff. I was at university at the time, and had to resort to the schools hack pdoc who took me off of it 'cause she was afraid of it. It's since been proposed that no med is forever, at least for me. I have a lot of trouble with out of control side effects. I wonder if the problem was a combination reaction thing as I was also on tegretol with it. This is now considered a lethal combination. Anyway, I had to stop taking something I was so sick.
Maois are interesting because of the way they really rewire your brain and allow you to learn to be well. Therapy is recommended with them. I've never been anywhere near as sick since stopping Nardil as I was before I took it, even on practicly no meds.
Now I'm on selegiline and like it. Very similar to Nardil, and has anticovulsant properties in rabbits. This is important because I've had so much mood stabilizer trouble I'm on neurontin- low dose- and fish oil. I've quit rapid cycling though, and the selegiline seems to have done this.
Hope this was enlightening ;)Miss Liz
