Uh oh. This sounds like something that I could definitely fall victim too. When you liken it to those PMS cravings-- those are the ones I end up indulging pretty much no matter what. I'm not sure I have so much self control that I could talk or exercise myself through them, if they are that constant. Zee, do you find the Parnate works well for you, just not as good as the Nardil? I actually tried *one* Parnate, at my doctor's urging some months ago (he was really trying to get me on MAOI'S for TRD). He wanted me to try Parnate first because there are fewer side effects. Of course I realize one pill is no trial, but it just made me feel really strange with kind of a distending feeling headache, and I was so paranoid about the diet then (not as much now) that I decided to wait and try Lexapro. Our hope was that with this new *side effect free ssri* I would finally be able to get up to a therapeutic dose. When that trial failed and I read the endorsements for Nardil on this site, I decided to give Nardil a fair trial. (I hope I can get that far). My doc also says some other new things are on the horizon-- Cymbalta for one, as possibilities in the future. At least *he* never gives up trying!
