> I can't imagine how nervous you are feeling right now..I had luck getting it in the large pharmacies in the city..where's there more population, there may be more bottles of Nardil lurking on their shelves..I know you tried calling a ton of them, but maybe try the big ones in another city, and they could courier it to you? Just a thought..if you could just locate one bottle, it might get you through without decreasing until this is over..Can you call ERFA and make sure they really do have it as they said and get them to get it to you ASAP..at least you'll know if they were telling you the truth..

ERFA retracted their offer to send Nardil directly to my pharmacy. The issue was, they extended the offer to me 2 weeks ago. I did not have a new prescription from my pdoc until yesterday. Now they are saying that they have shipped to distributors, so they won't ship to my pharmacy for me... New date to retail stores~ 1/26. That leave 4 days with no Nardil. So instead of increasing my dosage from 60mg to 75mg, I will reduce my dose to 30mg just to be on the safe side. I have no choice. To stop cold turkey would probably put me back in the hospital.
My pdoc says Parnate is not an option. He has next to no experience with MAOI's (I'm the first patient he has prescribed one to since his residency). He says I would have to do the 14 day washout if I wanted to try Parnate. No direct switch to cover
I've been doing so well on Nardil, I'm afraid to not have it. I've been able to completely stop daytime benzos (yup, 100% finished the clonazepam), and have started reducing sleep meds (Seroquel from 75mg to 50mg, now trying to lower further)
Anyways, just afraid to slide back downhill without my trusty Nardil. Feeling depressed at the prospect of all this.
