Mary,
That's great that you've had such a positive response to Parnate--MAOIs are known for sometimes being very successful when nothing else seems to work. I've very frequently heard about Parnate causing decreased appetite and weight loss, though I'm not sure if I've heard about the coldness--it's not unusual for all kinds of meds to cause a slight change in temperature regulation though. Even with all the MAOI "cautions" it seems like a small price to pay if you're feeling better! By the way, you'll note a lot of discussion about Parnate and the other MAOIs on this site, many of them in the previous months' archives.
Best to you,
jd

I have been so desperate that he even gave me his direct beeper number How about that? Calls have always been returned immediately. After several hospitalizations and Ect bouts and constant suicidal thoughts and plans...no attempts though, we decided to try this route. After six weeks, I feel human again. I just watch everything that goes into my mouth and take and record my blood pressure twice daily. Is there anything I should know or questions that I should ask my doc? I am interested in other peoples' responses to Parnate. Is it normal to be cold all the time? Is it normal to lose appitite? I'll look forward to any answers.
