In reply to What is the verdict on post-2003 Nardil?, posted by Michael Bell on November 23, 2008, at 20:49:57
Hi Michael,
I've taken Nardil + clonazepam for most of the past 11 years. My diagnosis is atypical major depression + dysthymia(double depression) along with social anxiety. The medication has worked for me pre and post the 2003 formulation change, One thing, since the first time I started Nardil I have not had the initial hypomania with associated euphoria. I've stopped four times for other medication trials because of the weight gain, insomnia, afternoon tiredness, and delayed ejaculation.I have noticed some apathy which I believe is caused by a combination of the disease and the medications to treat it. Pre depression and Nardil I considered myself fairly intelligent. I owned and managed a computer networking business and used the profit to by 50 residential rental units. I was Valedictorian of my high school class, graduated from junior college with a 3.9 GPA and from university with a 3.5 GPA. I have a degree in psychology and a minor in computer science, plus a bunch of night classes in electronics and astronomy. I also have a Realtor's license. Since the major atypical depression hit 11 years ago I feel my edge is gone and a certain amount of apathy has set in. I used to listen to tapes on business success, real estate, and motivation any time I was in my car. Now I find myself zoning out to the radio, what a waste of valuable time!
Be well,
Jedi
> I'm just curious as to the experiences of people who have been taking Nardil after 2003 (aka the "new" Nardil). I notice a few recent posts saying it hasn't been effective. For the "new" nardil users out there, do you mind stating why you were taking it (i.e. depression, social anxiety), and whether it was effective for any of these conditions? Also, what did you combo it with, if anything?
