All of these drugs make a dent, but do not produce a true antidepressant effect. I receive a little more mental energy and avoid suicidal states - that's about it though. I do worse off drugs than on drugs. Right now, the Nardil is not doing nearly enough for me. I am very disappointed. It has only been a few weeks, though. Still, I am not encouraged by what I am currently feeling.>

Scott-That is a very good description of the kind of experience I've had with a few exceptions. I can say, at least years ago, that many of the drugs I took would make "a dent" in my depression but never really achieved a true antidepressant effect. In these later years though, it has been much, much less with the results. Ironically, I am closer to death off drugs than on. I don't seem to have a choice as I see it.
