> I am also having problems with the new nardil. I am unable to do anything because I can barely make it through each day. I would give anything to get some of the old Nardil. I am up to 120 mg per day and still not getting results like the old nardil My pdoc won't let me go any higher. Nothing else has worked for me. My pdoc says I need to prepare for permanent disability. Please help me.

Hi...
I am so sorry to hear you are having such a rough time
on the new nardil, like many of us who were used to the old Nardil. The longer I take the new and discuss this situation with other people who are also having these problems, I am starting to understand more about it.
It seems that it's not that it just _doesn't work_, but that perhaps it enters and leaves the system too quickly, so that taking it as often as you used to take the old nardil may not be enough... you might try taking this raised dose at more frequent intervals than the old, and see if that makes any difference? That is one of my current theories, anyway. Please come hang out at :
http://anxietyhelp.org/treatment/medication/nardil.html
if you are not there already -- you will find a number of people in your situation who may be able to give you help, support, advice, or at least commiserate!
I also suggest as I mentioned in my previous post that you make a complaint to Pfizer, the FDA, and to your state's attorney general, if you haven't already .. the more of us who complain, the better!
I also am lucky enough to have family connections to some psychopharmacologists, one of which is apparently an MAOi expert. I have put out calls and emails to this guy and a few other psychopharms in the hope that we can get some help with this!
In the meantime, hang in there -- we WILL get through this! All of us! And please come read through the posts on the anxiety community -- knowing about others in my situation has helped me so much.
Take care!
