| 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 | Anxiety Depression | No food interactions except for first few months. | M | 70 | 20 years 45mg 1X day | 7/4/2020 | 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 | Anxiety depression | Agitation | Works great for anxiety and depression... | M | 59 | 30 years 90 | 5/24/2020 | 5 | Treatment Resistant Depression | Insomnia - cured by seroquel. However, seroquel has bad side effects (weight gain, sedation) and so I'm coming off it and trying dietary/lifestyle adjustments to treat the side effect. Euthoria - During the first months of treatment, be careful of euthoria and slight hypomania. I'm not sure if it was the absolute joy of being completely cured of depression after many years or a side effect of the drug. | I thought I'd leave a review as I used to look quite a lot at these before being successfully treated and it gave me hope, as well as useful information. Firstly, I had been treated for depression and anxiety since I was 18. I managed to hold down a job from 19-23, although I had very heavy periods of depression during this time. Symptoms would include, lack of interests/motivation, tiredness, excessive sleep, anxiety and when it became worse, occasionally suicidal thoughts. Various SSRIs, SNRIs, antipsychotics and mood stabilisers were trialled over this period. Occasionally they would help a little, but the effect would wane and it was only partial. Psychiatrist appointments were regular. At 23-25 I became severely depressed for two years. Nothing worked. I could not go out, I had no energy, constant suicidal thoughts, I could no longer work, the times before when I was relatively okay stopped occuring. I could not get out of bed,I couldn't speak properly. TMS and pregabalin eventually trialled - improvement in anxiety on pregabalin, questionable improvement from TMS treatment. In the summer of 2017 my doctor relented and let me try an MAOI. Two weeks later, it was as if the lights had been switched on. I started going out, I felt calm, focused, comfortable, even euphoric. I saw friends for the first time in a long time and it was enjoyable. It was quite an unbelievable change of state of mind and behaviour. Two weeks after that I got a job, working full time. Mor | M | 28 | 3 years 60mg | 5/23/2020 | 5 | severe depression, social anxiety | insomnia, weight gain | The best antidepressant ever invented. After trying countless numbers of SSRI's without success, I discovered Nardil. Once it kicked in at 8 weeks it was like someone had flipped a switch in my brain. For the first time in my life I was free from crippling depression and social anxiety. I also experienced a nice euphoria in the first few months. Over the years I've been able to work, have relationships, and even travel the world. I couldn't do any of this prior to nardil. Nardil completely changed my life and if I had never tried it I'm certain I wouldn't be alive today. Whoever invented nardil deserves a Nobel prize, seriously its that good. Don't waste your time on any more SSRI's, ask (beg if you must) your doctor for a nardil prescription! Nardil saves lives. | M | 36 | 9 years 45mg 2X day | 5/2/2020 | 5 | Bipolar depression | I tried Nardil at a time I was tired of treatments failures, tired of psychiatry and tired of living. I felt my real personality came back thanks to Nardil. I found back my enthusiasm and my pleasure to socialize. The improvement has been robust. I've been stable for years thanks to this medication! With SSRIs, the first weeks of adaptation were so difficult I couldn't go to school (mostly intense anxiety, suicidal ideas and nausea). Nardil, on the other hand, had a rather calming effect when I started it. It makes me say it has a very good side effect profile. | Quetiapine completely solved the insomnia. Bonus: I wake up everyday at 8 am, no problem getting out of bed! | M | 28 | 3 years 60 mg | 5/2/2020 | 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, Social Anxiety | Initially some orthostatic hypotension, mild fatigue | Nothing compares to Nardil. After having taken a total of about 25 antidepressants and anxiolytics which brought little to no relief and mostly came with intolerable side effects, I can't fathom how fortunate I am to be on Nardil. It's the only drug that KILLS my (treatment-resistant) depression, social anxiety and significantly ameliorates my other phobic tendencies. Nardil carpet-bombs mental illness out of the synapses and still miraculously features a very good safety and side-effects profile. Most importantly, it's the only drug together with Parnate which actually restores and enhances positive affectivity. In comparison, SSRIs, SNRIs and tricyclics are cognitive and emotional numbing agents for me and a vast amount of other patients. | M | 39 | 2 years 60 MG | 5/1/2020 | 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 | Depression, GAD, OCD | weight gain...but eventually stopped. it was manageable. inorgasmia. stopped after a few weeks. | Brilliant medication. tried all the SSRI's...some TCA's.... Nardil works and it works extremely well. Side effects may be troublesome at first, but they eventually go. Be aware that Nardil may take around 6 weeks to work and you may need 75mg- 90mg. have to be patient with this medicine, but the rewards are worth it. I have no problem with the diet or any drug interactions. Thank God for this medication. | M | 42 | 20 years 15mg 4X day | 7/17/2019 | 5 | Social anxiety and depression | Initial weight gain, sometimes trouble urinating. Insomnia. | I've been on about everything that was on the market up to the late 1990's and nothing worked like Nardil - for everything. | M | 35 | 20 years 45 MG 1X day | 10/28/2018 | 1 | panic, GAD | 15 mg- 3 days; no effect except felt strange on third day 30 mg- 6 days; depression (none before) , restlessness 45 mg- 2 days: depression worsen; restlessness worsen; insomnia After 45 mg, I had to taper down to 30 mg to 15 mg in just a few days because the restlessness and depression was out of control. Lyrica and Ativan helped with the anxiety. As I was tapering down, I experienced a fast heartbeat for days. When I couldn't stand it anymore, doc prescribed beta blockers to control it. Thought I could go cold turkey after two weeks and some weaning, but couldn't do it. Couldn't feel my hands and had the craziest sensations that almost drove me mad. Felt slightly better after taking 15 mg after two days of stopping. The scariest thing was the insomnia. I didn't sleep for about 5 days; 5 -10 minutes for two nights and 0 minutes for the rest. I took sleep aids, benzos, lyrica, melatonin, 25 mg Seroquel. NOTHING! I was so scared that I had developed fatal insomnia. Even if I was s | F | 3 weeks 15 3X day | 8/28/2018 | 1 | Panic, GAD | Depression, extreme anxiety, restlessness | After taking it for two weeks I decided to stop it cuz it gave me insomnia after a bad reaction in my sleep. Something happened that night and now I can't sleep besides dozing off once in awhile.i haven't slept normally in days and I think it gave me fatal insomnia where the person will eventually die from not being able to sleep. Electric acupuncture is letting me buy some time with micro naps for a minute or so. No acupuncture means no dozing or sleeping. Sleep aids and even antipsychotics can't make me sleep . Its crazy bad.I'm seeing the doc today about this. I went off of it for a few days and not much change. I'm also getting crazy withdrawals like crazy anxiety and having weird numbness in my hands that is unbearable. After two days of hellish withdrawals, I went back on 15 mg. Hand numbness much better but now I'm no longer tired or sleepy. I went off of it cuz my heart wouldn't stop racing. Drug too stimulating.doc gave me beta blockers. Suicide on my mind almost every minute. | F | 33 | 3 weeks 15 mg 2X day | 8/27/2018 | 5 | Depression | no | good | M | 29 | 29 days 30 1X day | 7/28/2018 | 5 | Severe Depression | Insomnia | The best antidepression medicine I have ever taken! | M | 49 | 31 days 75 mg | 6/3/2018 | 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 | Depression, Anxiety disorders | quite a few, clenching teeth, weight gain, drowsiness, constipation. most of these side effects went away in time. | very very good medication. zaps you out of depression and helps anxiety a lot. does take over a month to work; when it kicks in it is tremendously helpful. And I find it a very safe medicine too (despite what a lot of doctors think). | M | 40 | 18 years 30mg 2X day | 12/16/2017 | 5 | Anxious depression | None except with strong cheese | Amazing | F | 72 | 35 days 30-45 | 7/24/2017 | 5 | Social anxiety and depression | Sexual side effects | I have been on Nardil 15 years. It has been a miracle drug for me to say the least. I started Nardil because of severe social anxiety with relating depression. I recently went off Nardil for 8-10 months and I can say it has been a huge mistake. My doctor convinced me to try some of the newer drugs out there. I am currently his only patient on Nardil which I can't even comprehend. There has to be so many people being deprived of this medication. I am so happy to be back on Nardil that I am already excited and it hasn't even been a week. | M | 36 | 15 years 60MG 1X day | 4/8/2017 |
