You might be able to avoid weight gain and dizziness with Marplan, despite its being chemically related to Nardil (both are hydrazines). I preferred the way I felt on Marplan as compared to Nardil. Unfortunately, the response only lasted for a few days. I really should have given it more time at a higher dosage, but I was impatient to go back to Parnate or Nardil. In the past, Marplan had been considered to be a "weaker" Nardil. However, there are plenty of people who respond to nothing else.
Emsam (transdermal selegiline) seems to be better for anxiety disorders than it is for depression.
Given that you are less than happy with Nardil, and that Parnate is not the answer, I think that Marplan deserves a trial. You can go as high as 90 mg/day, despite the recommendation by the manufacturer that 60 mg/day not be exceeded. You can continue with pregabalin.
