In reply to Nardil is apparently the KING?, posted by clubfitter on August 24, 2011, at 20:26:15
Although I'm on Parnate rather than Nardil, I think the answer to your question is the same. You hear a lot of discussion on this board about how great Nardil and Parnate are, because most of us have taken so many other drugs that either didn't work or didn't work AND had terrible side-effects, that by the time we get to an MAOi, if it works, we can't help but sing its praises.
It's like not eating for a week and then being given a piece of bread and water. That bread and water is going to taste so delicious to you that you want to let everyone know.
It's not to say that the MAOis aren't good medications in and of themselves. I think it's human nature to be more appreciative to relief from suffering when the suffering has been long-lasting.
