If I was a person who had been on Nardil for many years with good result and I was finding that the non-Nardil version wasn't suiting me so well (insofar as it was possible for me to keep track of that)...
Then I would see about contacting the supplier or about having my Doctor contact the supplier on my behalf (or similar). To see if it is possible to get hold of the original.
I don't know what the issue is - if it is still being manufacturerd, but not enough to meet supply. Or if the issue is cost, or whatever.
Sometimes medication decisions are made on the basis of what is most effective in *populations*. Which is of no comfort whatsoever if one is in fact a genuine outlier.
It might be that you can make a good case for why you are one of the people who should be allowed to continue taking Nardil. If it is indeed effective for you.
One of the things they seem concerned with is placebo.
It might potentially come down to cost savings for the NHS only. I don't know.
