Hi.
Is anyone else able to compare the relative effectiveness of Effexor and Pristiq? If my prescription plan covers Pristiq, I guess it makes sense for me to try it before returning to Effexor.
> Scott... so what was your experience in summary of your most recent stint on Nardil?
Sorry that I took so long to answer your post. I guess I must have forgotten it.
Nardil is a potent drug that usually reduces the intensity of my depressive state. It works better when it is combined with desipramine or nortriptyline. I found Nardil to be energizing. For me, it is more of a mood-brightener than Parnate is. Parnate did less to address anhedonia. Unfortunately, I wasn't enough improved to justify rejecting alternatives like Viibryd or Pristiq.
