Is the opinion of
Reviews of patients who have completed or are undergoing treatment with Nardil.
My depression developed at the age of 30, after I experienced terrible personal events. I took nardily for more than 16 years and I feel much assurance, and most importantly there were fears and anxiety. Today I take 75 mg per day, but it is necessary to gradually increase the dose.
Mikhail, Moscow
I began to feel depressed 21 years ago, after serious everyday problems. My attending physician prescribed Fenelzin and prescribed a dose of 10 mg with a gradual increase to 40 mg. It was after this that my legs began to swell.
When I decreased the dose, the swelling of the legs decreased, but did not completely go away. I think that it is necessary to replace this drug with another one.
