In reply to No SSRI - any suggestions?, posted by TrishP on January 4, 2007, at 10:34:47
If you've done all the rest, Nardil is the Bomb. Watch out for mania or hypomania with BPII. It can be very intoxicating if you have been depressed for a long time. Most people don't recognise the mania in themselves. Have someone close keep an eye on you. Nardil is noted for weight gain, but is only used in severe treatment resistant cases. The depression is far worse than the side effects.
Take care,
