In reply to SOCIAL PHOBIA: ANYTHING BETTER THAN NARDIL?, posted by Cynthia on September 10, 1999, at 20:14:29
I have not found an alternative to Nardil for SAD. I've tried them all, SSRI's, Tricyclics, Parnate. Nothing works as well as Nardil and before Pfizer changed the formula during 2003 it worked even better than now. Actually Nardil will make me drowsy and Neurontin seems to help this side effect. I take 90mg Nardil, 300mg Neurontin and 15mg Valium a day. I have SAD, GAD and Atypical Depression. I have the weight gain as well and can't seem to stay away from sweets. Dieting will not work as Nardil affects the Limbic area of the brain and has an effect on metabolism. You must exercise daily is the only remedy I have found. As for the sexual dysfuntion, good luck. I once took 3 Viagra's and it still didn't help, everything just looked blue. I believe Nardil has an effect on the endocrine system. When I started taking it in 93 I had mild acne and it just disappeared. How do you want to live? It is really difficult for me to say in your case, for me I feel as if I have no choice. Good Luck!
Sincerely,
Brian
