Right on Mr. Scott or is that beam me up Scottie? I agree 100%, if we could only convince the incompetent doctors of this fact. If I had Valium a long time ago my life would be much different and for the better. I have taken 15 mg. of Valium for GAD 12 years never needing one more mg. during that time. There goes the physical dependence theory of needing more and more to get the job done and I take 90 mg. of Nardil. It does cause the problems mentioned by the origional poster above: sexual dysfunction and weight gain which I have found there is no remedy for. Parnate has less of these effects and may be the choice for Spike and I can definitely understand his frustration. The new and unimproved Nardil by the way doesn't work as good as the old, but it causes the opposite of sexual dysfuntion, can't think of the word (pervert), lol. Hope I have been of some assistance.
Sincerely,
Luther
