Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Nardil Work?
Phenelzine works by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which is responsible for breaking down neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. By preventing this breakdown, Nardil increases the levels of these neurotransmitters, which helps improve mood and alleviate depressive symptoms.
Common Dosages
- Tablets: Common strength is 15 mg.
Typical Dosing
- Adults: The usual recommended starting dose is 15 mg taken orally three times a day, with gradual increases based on clinical response, up to a maximum of 60 mg per day.

- Treatment of anxiety disorders.
Who Shouldn't Take Nardil?

- Take Nardil exactly as prescribed and do not stop taking it abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider, as this may lead to withdrawal symptoms.
- Follow a strict diet to avoid tyramine-rich foods (e.g., aged cheeses, cured meats), which can trigger hypertensive crises when taken with MAOIs.
