For Depression "The reason Lupin Nardil works and Greenstone doesn't is because the inactive ingredient polyvinyl alcohol wraps the Nardil pill like a Tide detergent pod pill. This is for better absorption. Greenstone doesn't have this. Trust me, Pfizer created a formula Nardil failure on Nardil! Hard to believe, but it is true."

For Depression "Been back on Nardil for 6 weeks, got it from Wells Pharmacy. Still anxious, though, these tablets are not as dark. Wonder if the ingredients are slightly different. Been put on 80 mg Bedranol to ease palpitations, which they have."

For Depression "I was prescribed Nardil from 1979 until 2003 for panic disorder and agoraphobia. Bang, it stopped working: lo and behold, Pfizer changed the inactive ingredients from the previous owner of Nardil, Warner-Lambert. Pfizer went from 15 inactive ingredients to only 8. I won't go into detail, but I'm annoyed they changed it. (September 2, 2003) and never looked back. Please look at a website pre-2003 Nardil petition. Thx."

For Depression "I was very upset after trying this drug. I had such high hopes and am very confused with the high ratings. I was on Nardil for 2 months and have experienced many side effects: dizziness, fatigue, nausea, no energy, worse depression, zero libido, agitation. I was on 45 mg and could barely stand up at this dose. If you are sensitive to medication, this is probably not for you. The only advantage was a slight reduction in anxiety."

"My brother had a terrible reaction to Nardil. His behavior and personality changed immensely when he started taking it for depression, and then he hit bottom when he tried to get off it. Maybe it is a wonder drug for some, but if you start having hallucinations or your reality changes, please get help."

For Migraine Prevention "My neurologist prescribed Nardil approximately 4-5 years ago as a last effort to control my migraine headaches. This drug has worked better than all others tried at preventing migraines, but not without some annoying side effects such as weight gain, edema in lower legs and arms, some mild memory problems, and probably most annoying is the caution exercised regarding medications and foods that are to be avoided while taking Nardil. I've gone off of it once, and it was a nightmare, it made me very sick and weak. I eventually got off of it totally for several weeks, but the migraines came back with a vengeance, so I had to go back on the Nardil. I'm considering going off of it again soon simply because of the weight gain and edema."

For Depression "Quick data point, since every shared experience is valuable with this largely unknown med. Started Nardil in early '19 for depression and anxiety, hitting a dose of 75 mg, before ending up at a dose of 30-45 mg. One month of relief - my brain clicked so well I'm convinced neurotransmitters are hugely to blame in my case. Words came quickly, I felt funnier, was mostly happier, and the voices of insecurity/low self-esteem quieted to a murmur. It felt like a different brain. I avoided big drinking nights until one Friday night, and the next day, my clouds returned. I'm getting off to prep for a minor surgery and because I don't think Nardil's my answer. Mostly off, and luckily it's been a non-event. I was scared of horror stories of super slow taper regimens and/or having to get back on. But besides brain zaps I've had with other meds, no real issues. After a 3-week taper, I've had 1 pill over the past 6 days. Not 100% out of the woods, but close. In case you're where I was, you have my story of hope to hold onto."

"When I first went on Nardil, I definitely experienced the “honeymoon phase” for a few weeks where 80-90% of my anxiety was abolished. As time went on, it still helped, but became a little less effective. I then had a period in my life when I became very stressed, I blew up with so much water retention. This drug can cause SIADH. I hated the way it made me look and feel. The side effects of Nardil are very tough. And I think I might be weaning myself off soon. It makes me sad because it was definitely improving my life."

"I wasn’t diagnosed yet with bipolar. This was my first visit to my psychiatrist to treat my bipolar depression, which I thought was major depressive disorder. We went up to 90 mg Nardil because it wasn’t taking effect. Holy crap, did it feel amazing, but I was in an extreme state of mania. I spent so much money. I was delusional. It was not good for me. Way too strong, this is serious stuff. The diet sucks. I gained a lot of weight and literally could not poop. I had to take laxatives regularly. My appetite was also affected big time. All I wanted was cookies, cakes, any sweets I could get. I came off it because I could not ejaculate for the life of me. That was the tipping point after a few months. I got off it. I do not recommend this for anyone with bipolar 1 especially, nor for bipolar 2."

For Depression "Nardil helps with anxiety but made me extremely tired, depressed, and agitated. I could only tolerate a low dose of 30 mg. Every time I tried to raise it to 45 mg, I experienced dizziness to the point of fainting, agitation, and crying spells."

For Depression "Nardil helped me stop drinking, which also helped my suicidal depression. I'm now 12 years into using it, and it has become less effective fighting depression lately, the last year. Thinking about weaning off 60 mg per day and starting drinking again. That was at least a good buzz, and I will fight feelings of depression on my own."

"Nardil is an absolute miracle. After trying 12 other antidepressants, after living 14 years of terror, fear, and panic attacks, my life is much better. Please never remove this pill, it's a lifesaver."

For Depression "Too many restrictions and not a lot of other medications can be used with Nardil... lots of interactions. Going off of Nardil caused some side effects as well."
