| 5 | Depression anxiety | None, slight weight gain | Helped me to get my life back, a life saver | 51 | 21 days | 12/30/2020 | 3 | Depression social phobia, anxiety | Nardil is crazy effective...helped a lot. As time went on it became less effective. The side effects of weight gain, massive hunger and orthostatic hypotension were very hard to live with. | Now I manage with high dose effexor, high dose testosterone, valdoxan at night. No alcohol, carnivore diet. Regular strenuous exercise. If you just want to take a pill nardil will help. If you want to truly recover you need to attack from many angles | 35 | 5 years 45 4X day | 7/15/2020 | 5 | depression and anxiety | insomnia was the main side effect when first starting Nardil but after a short time was easy to deal with | you do have to watch your diet while taking Nardil however this is easy to do and I have never had a problem with it in the 30 years I have taken Nardil | F | 62 | 30 years 15mg 2X day | 12/30/2020 | 5 | Post natal depression and anxiety | I have no side effects | Nardil is the only anti depressant that actually worked for me. It gave me my life back and has continued to work extremely well over the years. I would highly recommend it. | F | 69 | 35 days | 1/13/2021 | 5 | Depression severe social anxiety | Light headed when first starting it, constipation | The most effective medication in the world for social anxiety, going from hiding in my house with the doors locked not been able to answer a phone call and dreading walking in to a shop, to transform into a confident happy chatty positive person, I've tried at least 60 other antidepressants noting worked in any shape or form, started on nardil, woke up 1 morning and a voice in my head said I feel so happy, it was me I WAS SO HAPPY, goodbye days n bed not taking to anyone to hello world I've so much I have to do today so let's get this amazing day started, now nardil is gone, I'm back n my bed, depressed, sad, lonely, at least I got to experience life at it's best even if it was just for a few years | F | 44 | 100 days 45 | 1/9/2021 | 5 | Depression | None really, much better than SSRIs | It's the only Antidepressant that works for me. Tried the SSRIs, TCAs, Mirtazapine etc. | F | 45 | 20 years 60 1X day | 1/15/2021 | 5 | Anxiety and depression | Intially dry mouth and Constipation and sedating but that adjusts but the lasting side effect is the worst insomnia | This drug was my miracle like many have said after trying 25+ other anti depressants with no success. I've been able to bring my dose down to one or two tablets for most of the time and this helped the insomnia but when I'm having a tough time and have to up it the insomnia is really bad. SADLY THIS DRUG IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE GLOBALLY AND THIS IS A UNETHICAL AND TOTALLY UNSATISFACTORY | F | 56 | 23 days 60mg | 6/28/2020 | 5 | Bipolar II depression | Not anything major. Upset tummy if taken on empty stomach, and occasional hypertension when standing quickly. | This drug saved my life. I was on 30mg per day + 150mg trileptal as a mood stabiliser. Ot was magic. No weight gain or lethargy. Would still meed a few days downtime after prolonged periods of stress, but bounced back fast. No irritation/mania/anger depression. Literally felt the (I assume) normal ups and downs of well adjusted people. | F | 44 | 14 years 30mg 1X day | 3/22/2021 | 5 | Depression, GAD, OCD, panic dis | sedation. once it kicked in my appetite went down. | so for 15 yrs on SSRIs, SNRIs, atypical anti-psychotics, combinations of these. even Parnate. 8 weeks on Nardil did more than all together. depression totally stopped, anxiety gone. for yrs i have been often laying in bed depression with ocd anxiety, this medication changed all of that. it is amazing. i have had no problems with the diet, and the side effects have not been so bad (right before it kicked it i got very emotional and angry for 2 days). this medication is the best. | F | 33 | 1 years 30mg 3X day | 4/7/2021 | 5 | Panic Disorder w/Agoraphobia; GAD | Weight gain, insomnia, talkativeness | Nardil saved my life. | F | 68 | 45 years 45mg 1X day | 7/3/2021 | 5 | Clinical Depression | No side effects. | The only antidepressant that worked after a roller coaster of trying many and gave me my life back. The only problem I have is what pain relief I can take and problems with anesthesia during surgery. | F | 63 | 10 years 45 mg | 4/1/2017 | 5 | Anxious depression | None except with strong cheese | Amazing | F | 72 | 35 days 30-45 | 7/24/2017 | 5 | Social anxiety,depression | Worked well for me, until formulary was changed.now it doesn't work well. | Made me gain weight | F | 21 years 15mg tid | 5/16/2018 | 5 | Severe depression/anxiety | Life saver, i was severally depressed, tried diff meds but threw me deeper, within 3 weeks nardil brightened everything in my life, when i went to get my prescription a few weeks ago i was thrown into a sheer panic attack when told they were not avail until 2020, (australia) after ringing around frantically i came across a lovely pharmacist who said he can get them from canada for me, i have been taking these for a week and a bit, so far so good, i dont know how i would exist if Nardil ceased to be in existence. How can they just do this to patients who are so reliant on such a life saving tablet and without any notice !! Even thou i have the ones from Canada i still fear that one day they will say they are not available anymore, I will be very happy when i know i can just fill my presciption with Nardil available in Australia. | I had no side effects from Nardil | F | 63 | 36 days 45mg | 11/16/2019 | 5 | Atypical depression | Some hypertension issues | This medication saved my life. I had tried for over ten years a ridiculous amount of other medications at high dosages with any benefit. I finally can live a normal life, keep a job, study and maintain relationships. | F | 36 | 3 years 30mg | 5/1/2020 | 5 | depression anxiety | sleeplessness weight gain less sex drive | Had a problem having to take any meds ! Had a problem knowing I suuffered from depression but realised if you need to take meds to get your life back then so be it! Chemists sometimes gave a 'funny' look to me with comments like,"be very careful with this drug; it can be dangerous". Food and wine avoidance is a pain - I cheat lots! and have found no problems. Read somewhere list of foods to avoid has been reduced but can't seem to find it. Only drug I found worked for me. | F | 53 | 15 years | 3/14/2009 | 5 | Migraines | Weight gain, carb cravings. Mood swings if I miss more then 1 dose. | Hospital trip expected if I stray off diet. Hard diet because no leftovers over 2 days old + no cheese = my not eating enough protein. I eat a lot of eggs - luckily, I like them and have a good source. This is the only medication that helps me maintain "low pain" headaches instead of 2-3 Migraines a week. It was given to me after 3 years of failed "migraine regimin" drugs. | F | 41 | 4 years | 7/29/2009 | 5 | treatment resistant Depression | At first I fainted a couple of times when I got up quickly. Even after a year I am more clumsy than I was. My blood pressure has got down, which was a good thing. | I am taking nardil (75m per day) along with wellbutrin. Wellbutrin helps me to make plans and get things done. Nardil greatly reduces the pain and anxiety. | F | 54 | 1 years | 10/18/2009 | 5 | muscular/neurological problems | Sleepiness, hot spells, nightmares (but no REM sleep). | I had several very bad reactions to food. Blood pressure sky-rocketed, severe headache, nausea, pain in left arm, heart palpitations. I've been to the emergency trip several times. Once after a reaction I was hospitalized because my blood work showed signs of a heart attack. Apparently I've had many more problems with interactions with food and drink than others. I recommend following the food restrictions carefully, except for those on avocados, soy products, and bananas. | F | 47 | 23 years | 7/22/2009 | 5 | depression panic attacks severe | No side effects. | Saved my life. I took every medicine available and was severely limited to staying inside from panic attacks. Paid people to stay with me. Scared of everything in life. No life until Nardil. Now I go cross country in Big Rig and no fear and with no anger. I feel like a child having so much fun! I would rate Nardil with 100% perfect for me. | F | 61 | 20 days 15mg 2X day | 9/26/2014 |
