> Yes, it can be used as an antidepressant, but it is apparently metabolized to amphetamine and methamphetamine--must be why some users are so enthusiastic about it. I tend to look askance at amphetamine-type drugs myself; although, I probably am going to be switching from Nardil to Parnate, the latter of which does have a stimulant-type character, with a structure very close to that of amphetamine itself.

>It's metabolized to the more or less inactive levo isomer of methamphetamine/amphetamine. So it does not work the same, and therefore thats not why some people "want" this med. You can't abuse it and it doesn't cause a high. Parnate's effect are much more like the amphetamines.
