In reply to How long before MAOIs start to work ?, posted by don_bristol on October 15, 2003, at 16:16:15
Parnate works emediatley for me. On the downside it poops out after 3 months. For about 10 years I have used it every spring it allways is effective right away. I think it effects my endocrine system, then after 3 months my body gets accostomed to Parnate and goes back to the circadian rythmn of depression.

That seems like the sort of timeframe which is usually needed for standard antidepressants to work (although I have heard that a good thorough trial of standard antidepressants might take 8 to 10 weeks) and does not seem so quick.
