If you are scratching your head, google: "2003 nardil change" and you'll see why I'm curious. There are scores of people who swear Nardil became less effective after an excipient and manufacturing change in 2003. (Pfizer was until recently the sole supplier of Nardil.)
It's not a deal maker or breaker though, I'm just glad to be going back on it again. I started Nardil in 2007, when only the brand was available, and it worked for me.
Independent pharmacy, hrmmm. Might be worth a try for my next refill. I'll check Yelp to see what's around.
