...except I didn't know it at the time. Actually I did feel pretty good the first time I tried Nardil. I was able to do public speaking and things I was too uncomfortable to do prior to taking it. And with Marplan the same except I think it took longer to work.

It was so long ago, about 20 years ago, when I cried out for medication since my so called therapist at the time wasn't able to make any progress with my depression after 3 years of trying. I told him "enough is enough" and demanded he send me to a psychiatrist. This pdoc was amazing. Nardil was the second med she prescribed and it worked at once. Unfortunately, she was moving out of state and I next saw an idiot pdoc who insisted that I didn't need Nardil long term and should be able to come off it. When I begged her to let me stay on it, she didn't think I should be on it as long as I had been. But I kept telling her, as I tried to come off it, all my symptoms returned. I don't think she even listened to me. She was not for me so I found a new pdoc but by then Nardil had pooped. Stupid pdoc, who said docs know what they're doing, a novice Yalie with no common sense. I fired her a$$ after a few of these disagreements.

Remember when they only treated depression for weeks or months, never longer?
