> Do you guys think that because Gavis is now putting out a generic version of nardil, that pfizer will eventually discontinue theres? Does this happen when most meds go generic? Or do you think pfizer will continue to make their brand? I read somewhere that there is an estimated 80,000 people currently taking nardil and although its not the biggest number, it definitly is not a small number and i think there is room for both. Your opinions?
All I can say is I hope they don't quit. I am a lifer on phenelzine sulfate. It is the only thing that has ever worked for my atypical depression and social anxiety. Just having one supplier is very scary and I have lived with that for 12 years. I don't want to go back to that.
I've been on the generic for about 3 weeks and notice no change yet. Cross my fingers. I did taper into it by mixing in the last of my brand Nardil for the first couple of weeks. The Gavis phenelzine, with my insurance, saves me $135 per month. My insurance covers brands at 0% even if there is no alternative.
Be Well,
