An idiosyncratic reaction to a change in INACTIVE ingredients says nothing about the efficacy of the "New Nardil" in treating various conditions. I'm sure you'd be able to find someone who had this reaction to the "Old Nardil" and not to the reformulation.
That said, there have been studies done where the investigators will do things like tell a person who has "allergies" to close their eyes and brush a leaf against the subject's left and right arms. They will tell them that one of them was something they were allergic to and the other was not. The investigators deceived the subject; they'd transposed which was the allergen and which was not. The subject had the allergic reaction on the arm exposed to the "non-allergenic" (is this even a word, heh, hypoallergenic did not make sense to me here) leaf.
I am not saying you are "crazy", just that this has been demonstreated to happen.
