I've been highly reluctant to try an MAOI because of the side effect profile. But what else can I take now? Nothing it seems. This has been going on for nearly 15 years now and I want some peace. Here are the side effects I hate the most (not in any particular order)

hello there, chemist here....i had a very, very pleasant and productive run on parnate, a 30 mg qd dose. my diet does not include many of the restricted items - many of which are not so dangerous in reality, but caveat emptor - and highly recommend the drug. i felt a change immediately, and would gladly take it should situations call for it. just my story, you'll hear all kinds.....in the end, it's up to you to give it a shot or not.....all the best, chemist
