Who manufactures the Canadian brand Nardil you have? If the bottle doesn't say what are the inscriptions on the pills?
I took Nardil all last year (until I was able to get Marplan again). In the US there are 2 manufactures of the generic phenelzine: Gavis & Greenstone.
Gavis always seemed stronger for me in a sense I would often feel something an hour or two after taking a 30mg dose (2pills). I didn't get the same feeling w Greenstone.
From what I understand Greenstone is exactly the same as the Pfizer brand version. Iirc they actually made it in the same place etc. Its more subtle than the Gavis brand. A lot of people seemed to prefer Gavis since it at least seemed a bit stronger.
If youre having side effects with one or the other Id definitely recommend trying the other. I never had issues getting my pharmacy (I'm in California) to get either type. The good thing is there are differences between the two so I'd think you'll probably do ok if you get the other brand.
