In reply to MAOI (Phenelzine) not working - advise please :), posted by bournemouth on July 8, 2007, at 12:38:40
Throughout school days I also had great difficulty fitting in, and I can relate to many of the things you described also, except that I'm heterosexual.
The good news is that I found that when I commenced on Phenelzine, 45 mg/day within 2 weeks the energising effect had kicked in. I also noted that besides knocking the depression on the head, I had suddenly lost apprehension in social situations.
However, this was with the original formulation of Nardil, the manufacturers changed ownership & then they changed the formulation back in 2003. Since then I have had to discontinue using Nardil, but the good news is that I'm doing better now than on the inferior version of Nardil.
Unfortunately, had you access to the original Nardil formulation you may have found some relief from the terrible symptoms I'm sure you must be experiencing. My advice would be to persevere with the Nardil for a little while longer, and if that still gives no symptomatic relief, perhaps try Parnate or the Marplan if you can find it.
