I have been taking AD's for over 13 years mostly SSRI's and TCA's and finally decided to try something different. I am finishing my 3rd week of Nardil which is an MAOI and so far so good, that is I am getting good relief from unipolar depression. In another 3 weeks, I should know the full effectiveness and hoping it will not poop out like the others.
