One more thought came to me last night. Though I am not confidently schooled on it, I am aware that Nardil has a significant impact on vitamin B6 metabolism. Which of course is key in many bodily functions including making neurotransmitters. I wonder if that could be involved? It might be worth trying B6, or better yet, p5p (the version of B6 that our bodies metabolize B6 into), a combo of both, and some general B vitamins to support it all.

I mean, MAOI's crush MAO and AFAIK don't stop doing so just because you've been taking the med for x months. Maybe the brain dynamically compensates in some way, reducing or changing receptors or releasing different or less neurotransmitters. Who the feck knows.

Maybe there is some efficacy fluctuation from one batch to the next? Maybe you were getting a version of nardil by one particular manufacturer for all those months but recently were substituted a different one?
