Patient History
 5  Depression Nardil was my last hope after struggling with chronic fatigue and depression for years. I had lost my passion for life and couldn't find the energy to engage in daily activities. Thankfully, Nardil provided a much-needed boost. It revitalized my energy levels, improved my mood, and allowed me to reclaim my life from the clutches of depression. F 34 5 years

 5  Social Anxiety Disorder Insomnia and edema Severe social anxiety and treatment-resistant depression had become constant companions in my life, overshadowing any sense of joy or fulfillment. Despite years of trying different medications and therapies, I felt like I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of despair. That was until I discovered Nardil. From the moment I started taking it, I noticed a significant shift in my social anxiety. The racing thoughts and paralyzing fear began to subside, allowing me to engage in social situations with greater confidence and ease. Nardil gave me the ability to navigate social interactions without the constant worry of being judged or rejected. In addition to its impact on social anxiety, Nardil also proved to be a game-changer in my battle against treatment-resistant depression. It lifted the heavy fog of sadness and despair, replacing it with a renewed sense of hope and optimism. Nardil has truly been a lifeline for me, offering a path towards healing and a brighter future." M 38 10 years

 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.

 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

 5  depression and anxiety insomnia, craving for carbs, decreased libido Despite the side effects, Nardil is terrific! I started taking it at age 34. Within a few DAYS, I felt absolutely happy--almost high. I've tried a host of other meds with no success. Nardil is a life-saver! Exercise and a healthy diet help to increase libido, as I feel more sex drive when I look and feel my best. You absolutely must try it if other meds have failed you! M 64 30 years

 5  Unipolar depression Inorgasma (a lot better now) weight gain, when first titrating up mental effects like confusion, feeling worse, etc. Like others have stated this has been an absolute miracle drug. Been on 20 different meds previously and raplaced nardil a couple times I'm between to no avail. When it first "kicked in" I went from a bedridden social phobic mess to an absolute social butterfly to feeling god-like. Initial mania goes away and leaving you absolutely "normal" feeling. It has waxed and waned over past ten years and occasionally I do the lower for a few days then raise dose "trick" it helps immensely to get rid of homeostasis but less and less over time. Thinking of switching to Marplan only because of recent availability issues with Nardil. Hope it works I'd do this and not looking for to wash out period!! M 50 10 years
