Okay, Parnate (tranylcypromine) is known to be considerably stimulating and obviously is for myself so far. However, the latest study/studies have found that it most likely does not have an amphetamine as its metabolite. So do you think its stimulating effects are a result of its MAO inhibition (particularly of MAO-B maybe?), or do you think tranylcypromine itself is a catecholamine (DA and/or NE) agonist or reuptake inhibitor, or do you think it may have a metabolite that, while not an amphetamine, is a catecholamine agonist or reuptake inhibitor?
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated, because i am quite curious.
