> Really? That's good news. My misconception might have come from so many reports of people gaining weight on MAOIs (including Parnate) I just figured they must slow you down and increase appetite.i know there are some people who gain weight on parnate or even fatigue but it is much much more likely that a person will lose weight and sleep much less... i'm sure you've read the many many posts about people wondering what med to take to help with parnate insomnia (which i loved btw as someone who used to sleep 10, 12, 14 hours a day)
parnate i found very stimulating.... great.... libido really goes up to
> Anyway, you said SSRIs give you *more* energy? You're lucky. They drain me. At first I feel agitated and fatigued at the same time, and then, after a few months, I just feel fatigued. Unfortunately, increasing the dose brings back the agitation and worsens the fatigue. Uggg
well it's actually more like... when i'm feeling okay i have thoughts come into my head "hey doing ___ would be fun" "hey this is fun" ... "i should do ___ today" ... without an AD i do not have any happy thoughts... so i wake up in the morning, no thoughts come into my head as per things i should do, so i just go back to sleep....
maybe i'm fatigued and don't notice it because there are all these things that seem interesting/fun that i want to do and am too busy doing ... when i was depressed *everything* bored me so i didn't actually do anything
anyways.... yeah i would definately recommend MAOIs... they're great drugs
