Antidepressants , antipsychotics , mood stablizers , benzo , stimulants .. etc ) nothing worked realy like what nardil did in 6 days only , I still have symptomps of depression but but still early to judge this drug now but very optimistic about it because it's my last hope in life , I will update in 5 weeks ( to be full therapeutic 6 weeks ) and hope it could work for me . For inquiries I've put my email . | M | 20 | 8 days 60 | 2/20/2017 | 1 | Severe depression/social anxiety | Other than wanting to violently kill myself, none | I was so disappointed. I was so pumped to try Nardil but it gave me strong suicidal urges and I had to stop after just 8 days. :( Big downer. | M | 19 | 8 days 15 2X day | 1/14/2013 | 2 | Depression, Headaches | Burning mouth syndrome, itchiness, exhaustion, restless sleep, irritability | it has been helping my headaches a lot actually but im so itchy ive scratched myself until i bleed, im so tired all the time and im always irritated because of it and my mouth and nose burn all the time. i want to stay on so bad because i went from daily migraines to a few a week but these other effects are getting to me, had good results with selegiline patch but terrible rash, going to try parnate next and seeing a specialist for nerve blocks in my head | F | 26 | 14 days 15 1X day | 6/22/2023 | 5 | depression (TRD),social phobia, OCD | in the first 2 weeks a lot of sleepiness (which i liked), some dizziness, dry nose, and also waking up all of a sudden in the early morning. the side effects were not as bad as TCA's and SSRI's . after a few months not many side-effects, after years they all finished. | took Zoloft for a couple of years, did not help much...then tried more SSRIs, TCA's, the this great medication Nardil. it took a while to work (I think maybe 6 weeks, and i need 60mg)...anyhow it started working over a period of a couple if days and it was like this deep depression and anxiety just all floated away. i actually started enjoying activities, even like washing the dishes, enjoyed speaking to people, and felt confident to be around many people anywhere. To say Nardil works is an understatement, in my experience it is a God send. after all these many yrs it still works great. also, like some other people said, i never have had any problems with the diet, other meds, etc. it is very safe for me. so, in my experience Nardil is wonderful. i am so glad i did research and asked my doctor for it, who was happy to try it for me. best of luck to all. | M | 52 | 15 days 30mg 2X day | 8/5/2022 | 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 | 5 | Depression anxiety | None, slight weight gain | Helped me to get my life back, a life saver | 51 | 21 days | 12/30/2020 | 5 | depression-anxiety | Sexual-Drousyness-Little bit hard to urinate-Weight gain. All were temperery except I had to diet to loose yhe weight gain. | I have tried every type of antidepressant and have had severe mental side effects. With Nardil much improvement over deppression and anxiety attacts completely eliminated. I briefly stopped Nardil with almost no side effects to try Prosac. Same severe mental side effects as all other antidepressants. | M | 56 | 21 days | 4/24/2005 | 5 | Severe Anxiety Depression | None | In 1987 I was in a Anxiety Crushing Suicial Depression. All drug treatments make me sicker by the day. Then I went on NARIL... 3 days later I woke up completely fine! .... It was a life saver for me but unfortunately I only took the drug for 21 days believing I was cured... Big Mistake.... If Nardol works for you stay on it....

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 | anxiety depression | constipation sleepiness at beginning but stopped after longer use | Wonderful drug for anxiety and depression.

NARDIL (PHENELZINE SULFATE): Phenelzine is an antidepressant (monoamine oxidase inhibitor). This medication treats depression by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain. Phenelzine can improve your mood and feelings of well-being. Usually, this medication is used in persons who have not responded to treatment with other drugs. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
