Etymology
Nardil is a brand name for the antidepressant phenelzine. A helpful way to remember it is to see nard, an old word for a 'fragrant herb', and the common drug ending -il, so Nardil looks and sounds like a medicine and refers to a prescription drug used for serious depression that needs care with some foods.
