I wanted to hold off posting about this for a bit, but I have noticed a gradual reduction in efficacy since my last Nardil refill. Despite me asking the pharmacy in advance for Gavis Nardil alone, I got a mixture with the majority being Greenstone. The Gavis pills were on top and the Greenstone below... Now, I realize this could all be in my head (obviously it wasn't a blind switch) and others have noticed no difference. Also I freely admit I think about this stuff too much, and there are other stressors in my life. I haven't returned to full blown depression either, the effect just seems muted. So, when it's refill time, I will be talking to several different pharmacies including the few independents left, to ensure I get Gavis as a rule out. I look forward to seeing how that plays out. -z

Gosh darn-it! I had been taking the Gavis version up til today and had forgotten all about how the bad Parke Davis Nardil made me feel. Today I took that damn Greenstone generic and felt terrible.
Now I feel stuck with it and at the mercy of it once again.
I wonder how work will be tomorrow. Thank goodness it's Friday. Maybe I can TRY to explain to the pharmacist my dilemma over the weekend and get back to the Gavis, somehow...
I hope I don't feel completely stressed out tomorrow. There's no way I could even explain this to anyone.

No difference noted. Although I have added testosterone recently and .. being on my prescribed dose 3 days in a row again (long story) I am feeling like me once again.
I wonder if, some day, I'll discover that, all along my affective problems have been due to hormone deficiency alone. That is something, in time, I may discover.
See what you can do, and let us know how you do.
