Really now??? Well if I had known that they changed it appreciably maybe I wouldn't have had MRI's and other brain scans prompted by symptoms caused by the new nardil. Only after discovering the NPAC site, after two years unaware that the drug was so different did I realize that the drug had even changed appreciably so your theory does appear to "go out the window" on that one. Because of that I mulled over life circumstances etc to try and figure out why I was so depressed despite my tried and true Nardil--That was my first mistake which I should have learned years ago have no impact on a biological cause. My symptoms occurred before I knew the changes had been made , (I gave no thought to the look of the pill believing it was inconsequential) Reading posts of other nardil users only recently learning of the drastic change in the medication I see many others have been suffering unknowingly as well and then come upon the site or info through other means, (apparently that placebo effect works even when you are clueless???) Are you possibly a Pfizer executive who would love to disavow any knowledge of their actions??? LOL
> In my opinion, the hoopla surrounding the 'new' Nardil is having a powerful reverse placebo effect on patients ie. people respond to it less well because they have been told that it doesn't work. The power of suggestion is extremely strong.
