Hi Racer.
IMHO, Nardil is the second most efficacious drug on the planet. Clorgyline is the first. Both of these drugs are potent inhibitors of MAO-A. My anecdotal experience with Nardil is, that after 3 or more months, side-effects are practically nil. I find the MAOIs to be generally tolerable. For me, difficulties early on were hypotension, difficult micturation. No more. I am surprised that these drugs should be regarded as poorly tolerated.
As far as Jan is concerned, I am frustrated and angry. I am aware of her treatment history, and things that are "first-line" drugs have already been tried. I agree with her that it would be beneficial to attack the endocrine system at this point. However, for recalcitrant anxiety, Nardil is a great drug. Marplan would be another consideration in place of Nardil, as it is more tolerable and easier on the liver.
I'm not guaranteeing anything.

Dear Jan,If I didn't give a damn, I wouldn't be frustrated.
