Yes, it's definitely more of a concern for Canadians already on Nardil. I'm very glad your pharmacist was able to secure a supply for you, that must be reassuring. By the time that runs out, I'm sure ERFA will be resupplying their distributors and you won't have a problem. A treatment interruption could have serious consequences, as I'm sure everyone is aware.
For a new patient, desperately wanting to start Nardil, it is just very annoying, and depressing. A potential treatment exists, but I can't get my hands on it. In the mean time, that means no AD's for me, for a total of at least 2 months of washout, diet "practice", and non-supply issues.
In that time my depression has only worsened... I don't want to try Parnate (Which is available) because I have a lot of anxiety too, so Nardil is clearly the better choice. Very very frustrating, demoralizing, and fuel for the depression. Sometimes I just want to give up, as it seems the obstacles are too difficult to overcome.

> I just talked to my pharmacist..they called their distributor and there were only 2 bottles left, so he scooped them..I'm very concerned that a lot of people who are on Nardil are going to have to suffer immediate withdrawal as they won't be able to get their script filled!

So it looks like I'll be waiting at least another month to start Nardil. I was so hoping to start it sooner. Oh well... Thanks again for your help Justherself, Larry.
