I'm going to try Marplan. It IS available, contrary to popular belief. A very wise psychotherapist recommended I had my only moderately happy years on Nardil. It pooped out and I had trouble with the side effects. Parnate was so-so (though definately better than the SSRIs - what a bust!I'd say if you were helped by Nardil or Parnate, Marplan is definately worth a try.
