>I know I keep harping on this endlessly, but the change was literally night and day. As I understand it, it has something to do with Nardil's effects on GABA and the homeostasis that results was the reason that it stopped working.
Yeah, basically you build up tolerance to the euphoric effect because your brain opposes the action of the drug in order to maintain it's natural balance. This process is called homeostasis - I think the literal translation would be something like 'staying the same' or 'keeping stable'. It's your body's natural stabilizer/neutralizer mechanism and it's there to protect you.
