I have unipolar depression and have been taking Nardil for 5 weeks. Except for the insomnia, it has lifted my depression and hope it will continue to do so because I know that I can feel a lot better. Remeron has been Rxd for Nardil induced insomnia. In fact I just started Remeron a couple of days ago at 22.5mg (half of 45mg tab). Although it had helped me get to sleep, it did not keep me asleep as I awake in 1 to 2 hours. Last night I tried a full 45 mg tab and it has allowed me to sleep continuously for 5 or 6 hours which was a great improvement. As far as it helping depression, it had helped me in the past, but I was taking Prozac, Lamictal and Lithium with it. I was on this combo for the longest time and I decided it was no longer working, so I switched to Nardil. I have been on ADs for over 13 years. Hope this helps you. Good luck.
