In reply to Re: Old Magazine/Medical Journal ads for Nardil, posted by Christ_empowered on June 8, 2011, at 20:43:01
Back in the day when those ads were published, it was generaly held that Nardil was best for anxious, neurotic depression (the sort where SSRI's would be used today) where as Tofranil was best for deep endrogenous depression (the sort where we might use Welbutrin today.
The most potent weapon was the combo of Nardil plus Tofranil or another tricyclic - that was a sort of last resort treatemnt, but it gave amazing results in resistant depressions... today we might use an SSRI plus Welbutrin to get a similar effect.
