Shy, you stick with this now. Have your Pharmacist find out where Link is and who distributes their product. It should allow you to start living a much better life again, which is exactly what I hope happens for you, because I remember the pain and agony I suffered until I finally found Nardil.
As for me, the story remains problematical. If the ingredients in Link's Nardil are close enough to the original 1959 Lake Pharmaceutical specifications (there should be about 15 of them in it) then I'll fly to Australia to get my prescriptions filled. Perhaps later I could work something else out that is more convenient.
However, if they are closer to the "new" Nardil that Pfizer now makes (9 ingredients only -- only 3 of which are the same as the old formula), then it will not help me for the same reason the "new" Nardil doesn't. My body cannot take have that high a concentration of Phenelzine in my blood stream without it causing me serious trouble.
Now, this might actually be a hybrid of these two,
in which case I'll simply have to try it to see how my body metabolizes it. Yes, I could clobber Pfizer for changing this, but they did and they are not going to change it back.So, while you have your pharmacist on the telephone, please have him/her find out what the "inactive ingredients" are in Link's Nardil and then we will have some idea of what it really is. Just make sure they do it, because in America everything is becoming so depersonalized, that one can barely get a word out of one's pharmacist these days.
Still, it is the inactive ingredients that finally determine how any drug is metabolized and that is the key.
But believe me, people can and do bail out of these fora the once they start feeling better, because everything is all right for them again. And that is a perfectly natural act to commit -- one I would also do once I figured this out -- if I ever do, that is. However, now that I have been dealt this setback, I am going to start coming back to the two places I frequent, and see how people are doing, so I can help them if that's possible. Because there is nothing worse than not getting any help when one genuinely needs it.
Shy, I cannot adequately express to you how grateful I would be if you would follow up on your promise to assist me. I mean I truly would not know what to say, but I would most assuredly be elated. That much I promise. And if there is anything that I can help you with all you have to do is ask me, and I will do my very best to help you too!
An overly verbose,
Dave
