> Marpan was withdrawn in Australia many years ago - the manufacturers decided that sales were so low, it wasnt worth the bother of marketing it.
Marplan had been withdrawn from the US market for the same reason in 1994. Afterwards, some people were granted a supply of the drug under a compassionate use program. It was then reintroduced in 1999. Marplan has always been considered to be a "weaker" Nardil. However, there is a minority of people that responds better to Marplan than to Nardil. The side effects for Marplan are more forgiving than those of Nardil. I really don't know what place Marplan has in psychiatry. However, I am sure that there are people who pray that it always remain available.
I tried Marplan once. I experienced a very small improvement that lasted for less than a week. I was surprised that it worked at all. For me, it had no side effects.
