I think the FDA played a role in the 2003 new Nardil's lack of testing compared to the old Nardil, assuming they were the same med, but with all the new ingredients added,there was a profound difference to the old Nardil, especially it's effective dose and side effect profile.

>Sorry Justherself. I know how stressful it is. I went through this on my last refill. Now, I have a little less than 2 weeks left, less if my pdoc increase me to 90mg today. I know of NO pharmacy in town that has it in stock and I have now called about 70 pharmacies in total. I got it from a frickin local prison pharmacy last time as a special one time "compassionate" basis. They won't help me again. One hospital has it, but they absolutely won't dispense it to non-inpatients. I tried, my pdoc tried. No go. So if this ERFA delay goes on much longer, I will run out too. I can't keep thinking about this. I t's always such a struggle to get this stuff, but it works. I'm becoming paranoid about refilling my next prescription...
Good luck to you in getting some soon. I'm glad that you know you have a bottle waiting for you in the city. At least that will last a few weeks, and I guess we just have to hope that it will be back in pharmacies by then.
