Hello,
this is my first post here and I wish to write about my experience with the Neon brand of Nardil.
A brief history first.
I am 75 and have had atypical depression after a 2 year spell of deep depression accompanied by agoraphobia in my late teens.
After trying tricyclics, my psychiatrist prescribed Nardil at a dose of 30mg..
Anxiety levels reduced and my energy levels improved along with my mood.
After a while I recovered enough to get a full time job and after coming off Nardil I was fine for a couple of years but another dip resulted in being prescribed Parstelin, ( Parnate plus Stellazine compound)
Over the years I’ve had great success with Nardil treating my bouts of depression but that all changed when the original manufacturer Parke Davis discontinued making them.
All the generics we’re never quite as effective in my opinion, and in 2019 my G.P started me on Parnate (10mg then finally 30mg).
This helped but not quite as much as the original Nardil.
Last year I heard about Neon brand Nardil and became enthusiastic about trying it as it was claimed to be very near the Parke Davis formulation which had worked so well for me.
At a dose of 30mg (gradually introduced over 2 weeks) I had an almost psychotic few days of feeling spaced out, over sensitive to events yet strangely able to become upset and almost having a meltdown without seeming too bothered by the consequences. I reduced my dose and am now only taking 2 and 1 on alternate days and am being helped a bit without too many side effects. This has never happened on any other version of Nardil, or indeed on any other antidepressant I have had. This is only my personal experience and should not discourage anyone from trying Neon brand Nardil, but I would urge caution and strongly suggest gradually increasing the dose week by week allowing time to adjust to each new dose level.
Hope this is useful to others.
Best wishes to all.
