I have tried many drugs over the years and nothing worked until I took Nardil... I was taken off Nardil after being Dx'ed with MS in 96. A Doctor told me that there is a drug that works like Nardil but is NOT a MAO inhibitor... now because I can't make it to his office he will not tell me the name of this Drug over the phone. Does anyone know what drug he might be talking about... Need to get back on something and I've tried so many different things that don't work... that's why I went on the Nardil... yes it's dangerous and very old school now and can't I can't be put back on it... so I need to find out What Medication works like Nardil but is NOT a MAO inhibitor... Thanks!!
