Linkadge, Thanks for the link to the study. As a long time user of Nardil, I think I can see this as being true. I've tried to quit Nardil at least 6 times to try other meds and because of the side effects. Always, within a few months, my major depression returned. I have been on 45+ different combinations of medications and the only one that has worked for my atypical depression and social anxiety is phenelzine combined with clonazepam.
This study sure explains why. It would be so nice to have a clean drug that worked as well for me as a 50 year old "dirty" medication. It has not happened yet. At this point I am a lifer on phenelzine. And it has saved my life on multiple occasions.
Be well,
Jedi
