Like I said before, I had a sulfur smell from my urine when I started taking it.Hey Tecknohed. No actually it doesn't need to be refrigerated. The Phizer kind is supposed to be just at room temperature. I've read somewhere else that as the pills get older/closer to their expiry date they tend to REALLY start smelling. Something happens to them, I dont know if they begine to break down or thr smell starts going through the coating or if they are becoming somewhat rancid. some people have gone back to the pharmacy to get a new batch because of the smell and when they get the fresher ones ordered in they dont smell. My 2 perscriptions so far have been only 2 months away from expiration date, I think its because barely anyone buys nardil much anymore so they are old stock. I have a good feeling that your right and the smell will go away after I adjust and its just a side effect at the beginning. I shall ask my doctor for a liver test the next time i'm there to see if its working right (metabolizing properly)
Thanks for your response
