| 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, 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 | 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 | Depression, OCD, Panic attacks, GAD | small weight gain, only permanent s-effect. No other problems. | This medicine is a life saver. Best ever. Zapped me out of depression totally, got me working and studying. helped my anxiety massively. People who it doesn't work for don't give it enough time. Took a good 6 weeks to work for me. Minimum dose needed usually is 60mg daily. MAOI's are NOT dangerous, they are very effective medications when used responsibly (as is the case with all medicines). I have not had ANY problems with Nardil, only blessings. | M | 28 | 9 years 30mg 2X day | 1/24/2017 | 4 | Anxiety, Depression, OCD | Weight gain, trouble sleeping, sweating, snoring, alternating diarrhea and constipation, flatulence. | Since childhood I have taken over 20 medications for my condition, and Nardil is the best treatment. The positive changes it produces often seem lacking or insignificant, but in truth the changes are profound and mean the difference between being hospitalized and having some quality of life. | M | 26 | 11 months 120 MG 1X day | 3/21/2011 | 4 | OCD and anxiety | Wieght gain, excessive sweating, also taking Zyprexa that causes wieght gain. | This drug was a miracle drug! Tried all kinds if SSRI's with zero success. My OCD was out of control and this medication gave me my life back. Now I'm looking to get off of it because the side effects are getting to be to much to handle. | M | 29 | 1 years | 9/17/2009 | 4 | OCD depression | Hassle with the special diet, no side effects to speak of (unlike SSRIs and the major sexual problems) Got a bit too high on the higher doses. Postural hypertension. | Great for depression, helped a bit with the OCD . Been on SSRIs they're OK, but still remember the good times on Nardil !! Reluctant to return, as Nardil lowers blood pressure (can kill) and if the wrong food is eaten, makes the blood pressure dangerously high. | M | 45 | 10 years | 4/15/2006 |
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)
