Thanks for all the information. I think I understand now. BUT, if Nardil, parnate and marplan are all MAO-a and b and affect the same neurotransmitters, why do they affect people so differently? ie, I hear parnate described as activating and nardil described as good for anxiety. What causes the difference? I would think if parnate also affects serotonin then it would be OK for people with anxiety disorders to take it, but perhaps I am wrong.
Thanks everybody, for taking the time to educate me. RS
