In reply to Chemist or Anyone, new Nardil not working, posted by luther on August 30, 2004, at 2:09:53
hello there, chemist here...this reply is a courtesy, as you did address me in your posting line. in my opinion, King Vultan and Ace (the Nardil champ!) are (at least) some of the posters more in-tune to your query...i can only relate my pleasant experience with parnate a few years back, and like you, am aware that the new Nardil formulation has proven to be troublesome for many folks who take the drug, so nothing new from me....apologies for the ``dead end,'' and all the best, chemist
> I have GAD, SAD and Dysthymia and/or Atypical Depression. I started taking 90mg Nardil and 15mg Valium in 93. It was like a magic cure after trying all the other crap out there. Yes there are some side-effects, but compared to how I felt before I could deal with them. Then Pfizer had to aquire Parke Davis and the party was over. They supposedly changed the inactive ingredients with FDA approval for just a label change, lol and I have no idea how this alone could have an effect on the performance of Nardil. If you have read much about it or seem many posts, it's not just me having the problem. It happened after the Glutein was taken out of the formula in the Fall of 03 as the FDA mandated because so many have allergic reactions to it. My life has been hell since. I do know that Nardil works on Seritonin, Noripenephrine, Dopamine and Epinephrine. The only med. I know of to work on these neurotransmitters. Parnate doesn't work much better than a SSRI, but it only works on the first two neurotransmitters I mentioned. I would like to know more about Marplan and do you think it will work in place of the old Nardil, even if not as well could it be better than the new? I can't find what neurotransmitters it works on either? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
