Hi suji,
I have felt nauseous as well, didn't sort it out to be with leftovers but that is a very real possibility. There are lots of things to be aware of with the MAOI's. I think the benefits are good though. I have a clear head the first time in years! and I don't feel depressed and I feel less anxiety. So it's worth it. I haven't tried Marplan but am glad there are other options if the Parnate stops working. Do you still use the MAOI's? Sounds like you have moved on to others.
Stairs both real and symbolically are a very real part of life, aren't they? Hope you find a solution to the muscle toxicity. I don't have that problem. Have you tried decreasing the dosage? What about lifting weights to move the blood around in the muscles? Good luck in finding an answer.

> I have always found MAOI's to be the most effective AD's for me...especially Marplan. As I mentioned in another post, the most significant problem I had with MAOI's was muscle toxicity. The worst thing was climbing stairs when my legs would just sort of "freeze up" and I would have to stop for a few moments until I could continue... Anyone else experienced this problem? Any ideas? I would really prefer to go back on Marplan if I could find a solution to this problem (there are a lot of stairs in my life!).
