> Since I'm about to start Parnate, I got to thinking why I chose it over Nardil. Nardil on paper seems like the better drug to try for me, but the side effect profile seems more bothersome. I have significiant depression, anxiety, and some social phobia, and I have a feeling Nardil has a better chance of working. I've taken many of the newer and older generation drugs, with very little success. But I'm thinking down the road a bit here.
Having once been on Nardil (and currently contemplating Parnate), I thought that the side effect profiles were similar. If anything, I was under the impression that there's a higher risk of the cheese effect and hypertensive crisis with Parnate than with Nardil. And Parnate, being more activating, makes some people more anxious.
