Topdog,
I don't think that I would say that MAOIs are necessarily the only solution in your case. I do, however, think that other MAOIs would be the first medications you'd want to look at if you're looking for medications that might be similar to Nardil in their effects.
Aside from other MAOIs, treatment options that might possibly produce some of the same types of benefits that you experienced on Nardil include:
* SSRIs
* SNRIs (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors)
* Wellbutrin
* Wellbutrin+SSRI
* SAM-eWhat are your experiences with the treatment options that I mentioned above?
Although I didn't experience long-term success with Rhodiola rosea when I tried it, I have read of many cases in which patients with depressive disorders and/or disturbances in energy reported experiencing good results with the herb. One site that you might want to look at, if only for the customer reviews of Rhodiola rosea, is iherb.com. The Web site sells a variety of herbs and other dietary supplements, and anyone can read the customer reviews of the products that they sell. I know that at least some of the Rhidiola rosea products that iherb sells have received a large number of customer reviews, many of which have been positive.
I hope that this helps some. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about anything that I've written.
