Hi Clay,It's good to know that not everyone has trouble with the new Nardil. Are you taking the Pfizer version that's available in the U.S.? It's also nice to hear that it has worked for you for so long. I hardly ever hear about Nardil pooping-out (though I often see posts about Parnate doing so).
Do you mind if I ask whether you've gained much weight on the drug? Do you have many side effects from it? Have you had any problems with the diet? I've been considering an MAOI for a while now but have been too afraid to actually start on one.
Thanks,
Kara
