Nardil

An MAOI that is used to treat depression is called Nardil (phenelzine). It functions by preventing the breakdown of monoamines, which are neurotransmitters important for controlling mood. Although it has been demonstrated that Nardil is effective in treating depression, it also has a number of undesirable side effects, such as drowsiness, headaches, and dry mouth. If you are also taking an SSRI or another MAOI, you should avoid taking Nardil. Nardil should not be taken if you are pregnant or nursing.

Why should Nardil not be prescribed?

The human body contains small amounts of the trace mineral boron. Due to the lack of a known biological function for which the body needs it, it is not regarded as an essential nutrient.

The health of bones and cognitive function, however, may be influenced by boron, according to some studies. There isn't much scientific data to back up claims that boron supplements can treat these conditions, despite the marketing of these products.

In general, when consumed in the recommended doses, boron supplements are considered safe. However, these supplements should not be taken by those who are pregnant or have young children. The safety of boron supplements for these populations cannot be determined from the available scientific data.

Speak with your doctor first if you're thinking about taking a boron supplement.
