> I had checked Amen site before and I did test (can't remember the exact output, but I was positive in two different kind of Adhd). Anyway I live in Italy and here this disturbance is not very well known so I suppose it's no use going to my doc and say which kind of Adhd I think I have because he will likely have never heard of this kind of stuff. I'm quite skeptikal about "natural remedies" but and I'm far more skeptikal about my ability in maintaining a diet and exercize and so on ;-) so I think I will try Parnate because at the moment, what I really really want is come back to the good life (I must study because I'm payed for it). If Parnate will not work (and if I will not die because of tyramine ;-) I think I'll go back to the meds like Anafranil or Prozac which helped my ADHD in the past. you have been very kind, thanks a lot
At the same time as you want to go on an MAOI you say you are skeptical about maintainting a diet!!
If you blow off your dietary restriction just once on Parnate and eat a large portion of something loaded with tyromine you have a high probability of KILLING yourself.
MAOIs are nothing to screw around with! Look what happened to you on Wellbutrin, something considered rather innocous in comparison.
Who is it that gives you whatever drug you walk in and ask for?!
I STRONGLY council you to be very catious!
