In my case, taking the right antidepressant (enteric-coated Nardil) completely eradicated my severe anergic depressive symptoms. For once, I had no difficulty getting out of bed in the morning and actually woke up feeling refreshed. I had the energy to take on the activities and responsibilities that I wanted to take on, and I could finally enjoy the things that I knew I really liked but couldn't enjoy due to my depression. I was in treatment for my depressive symptoms for about five years before the Nardil finally brought my symptoms into remission, and in that time I tried some treatments that relieved my depression somewhat (such as Wellbutrin) and others that had little to no effect (such as psychotherapy). I eventually stopped taking Nardil after I received what was probably a bad batch of the medication, and I currently suffer from schizoaffective disorder and am having less-than-stellar results with my treatment. However, when Nardil worked for me, I was symptom-free and able to function to my full capacity (as opposed to being extremely functionally impaired at my depressed baseline).
