Nardil goes generic

Nardil, quietly and with little fanfare, has gone generic. Gavis Pharmaceuticals is now producing a generic version of phenelzine. I hope that Parke-Davis continues to produce Nardil because I am not changing to the generic version any time soon. The last time I switched from a stable brand name medication to the generic, relapse. It was awful. I suppose I can understand how people felt when they had to switch from the original pre-2003 Nardil to the new formulation.

So here I am, stable but still feeling empty and flat at times. What's the next step? These days I haven't been looking at medication for the solution. I've found something that gives me stability, but can increasing the dose or adding something else fill the hole in my spirit? I could try increasing the Nardil to 75mg. Looking back at my journal entries, however, this did not have much of an impact. I have, however, at times felt well and happy in fact. But what makes me feel well and happy is outside of me and out of my control largely. I wish I could nurture that feeling from within. I can nurture that feeling from within.
