In reply to Selegiline transdermal, why not phenelzine ?, posted by mattdds on February 2, 2004, at 12:42:06
I have an idea on how you could make your own transdermal nardil. Well first off I use to be into lifting weights with steroids. Specifically a steroid called fina. Its a steroid meant for cows but body builders take it too because its easy to get and works really well. So anyway these body builders use DMSO gel to get the fina in their bodes transdermaly. It works really well and I don't see why it wouldn't work with nardil. You could just crush up some nardil mix it in about a teaspoon of DMSO and put it in the microwave for about 5 seconds ( helps the medication devolve in the DMSO) and apply to skin. Of course I don't currently take nardil but I have almost a full bottle if I ever wanted to try it. Any one want to be a ginipig?
