> I've heard that the only people which really were affected by this change were those who have been on the old Nardil for a while before the sudden, no notification switcheroo. Everyone was like ahhhhh!!! what's happening to me!!! before they realized Nardil had changed. The way in which the body metabolized the drug affected the way the the active substance was dispersed therefore the body reacted to this change, and in this case negatively for many folks.

> From what I understand if you are going to start taking Nardil (new formula) for the first time, now, the chances of you having a positive response to the drug are no different than if you were starting on the old Nardil. It is still a very effective AD and I would think worth a try.

Ive actually stumbled on a formula for making my own Liquid Nardil... im considering trying that now.
