> I found the new Nardil to be roughly equivalent to the old Nardil. It is hard to tell, since my previous exposures to Nardil produced only a partial response. My most recent period of Nardil therapy produced a robust response in combination with the other drugs I am taking. I did not feel that Nardil was without effect. Perhaps one needs to take a bit more of the new formulation to receive the benefit of the old formulation. I needed 90mg last time. The time before that, I seemed to be responsive at 75mg.

I agree wtih you, I personnaly know some people who take the old Nardil and they needed less that 90 mg to have a good response on it. With the new, 90 mg seem to be the goal to reach.
New formulation or old formulation, I have a lot of hope in the Nardil treatment...I think I just want to have some positive feedback to make me feel more secure this time, so thanks again for your answer ;-)
I just notice that my first experience on Nardil at 90 mg in 2007 was not like the one I have now. I just start this week again, and i'm a lot more anxious. But also, I was on a high dose of Clonazewpam at the time (8mg/day), maybe it's why I wasn't feeled at time the kind of "anxiety increase" I feel since I begin it and of course the insomnia... I also now understand why they recommend to give some Trazadone (Desyrel) with it at the bedtime... I think in less than 5 days, I only sleep 2 hours in a row maximum...so you can imagine that my energy level is at the lowest point now... I hope my familly Doctor will prescribe a little dose of Desyrel to me next week...because my psychiatrist don't want to do it...He know it's write in the fract sheet of the Nardil, but he said to me that he would never give it at the same time than the Nardil because of the 5-HTP interactions that can be fatal... I will have to defend my point of view, since I don't want to end up increasing my Valium intake or return on a more powerfull benzo drugs like Clonazepam, Xanax or Zopiclone and finish at the hospital like the last time...
Well, so much questions, se less answer, no wonder why i'm overstress!!!
