yeah, marplan came back,not sure exactly when but I did try it within the last year and it did nothing for me. Unfortunately, the med never comes back as the same formula that was originally developed.
I'm not too familiar with compounding pharmacies and I was unaware that they can make up a drug that has been discontinued.
Unfortunately with the lack of quality of generic meds today, you would be doing this for more meds than not and I'm sure insurance is not covering the meds from the compounding pharmacies or are they?
I'm on Nardil now which does not work like the original formula and no one has said they have had success with compounding it.
At the time Marplan was discontinued,no solution was given to me and I went for many years without any stability or confidence about life. I never was able to succeed in anything and wallowed those years away like a ship without a rudder. My pdoc had no solution for me but trials and trials of meds that took months before they were deemed useless. I was a walking testtube dummy for psych meds.
I'm much older and smarter now and rely on other options than my pdoc's suggestions but back then I was a faithful patient with no options but to follow his advice. This was definately one of my downfalls, too much adherence to his methodologies and not enough researching and challenging him for alternative choices.
I got old being compliant and I resent the years I spent wasting my life with medications that didn't help me at all.
