> Correct. One must be careful while on Nardil. No question. But personally I have never ever had any problems except one hypertensive crises- had to go to hospital. But I would have 50 for the benefit this master med provides!
I agree! We must have similiar benefits by taking Nardil. I almost lost my life the last time (hypertensive crisis), and told them the same thing; "I'd continue going thru these once every ~7 years to continue feeling as though I'm the person I knew I should be.

>I believed such to be the case. I'd still like to talk to a chemist/(those who use to be involved in the research). "For what reason?", you ask. I'd like to still know the reason for discontinuation of the research in the first place, and whether there is still room for improovement and in what areas.

>Thanks, I'll give this a try. Though, upon lowering my dose I become very anxious, almost to the degree of panic. I guess I'll have to still go slower in the reduction process. Do you have any idea of the percentage of ones "normal" dose you must decrease to yield the "reset" results?

Man I hope "your" idea works as well for me as it appearently has worked for you. What GREAT NEWS! THANKS AGAIN...> >
