> You made tranylcypromine sound scary! Do you think it made you manic? Have you ever been on any other MAOIs.... phenelzine, isocarboxazid etc.No I wasn't manic,maybe hypomanic..well I do not want to label things,but what I'm sure of is that I was not myself and realised it(and others too)..
I don't want to scare you,people are different...but I'm not going to put Parnate in my mouth again..I want to be ME!!...
I tried selegiline 5mg in the morning all by itself and for 1st week I felt it was what I was looking for ; it gave me energy motivation and a nice stimulation. only side effect was sweating...but, unfortunatly after a week or more it "pooped-out" and started to make me feel tired and sleepy?!!...
the last MAO I tried was Moclobemide at 150-300mg it did NOTHING at 450-600mg it made one effect :increase in weight so it was a total waste of money and a failure.

> How did the sedation from maprotiline differ from amitriptyline and dothiepin?VERY different,if Amitrip sedation was 10,dothiepin would be 7-8 ,maprotiline would be like 4-5...
You see, Maprotiline's sedation dose not interfere with life like amitriptyline or the severely sedating doxepin and mirtazapine,it is more in the category of "benzo" sedation (at 25-75mg)

> It's funny how when meprobamate was introduced it was claimed to be a 'selective' anxiolytic... unlike the barbiturates. But you prefered phenobarbital, finding it less sedating! I guess we're told that all new anti-anxiety drugs are selective when they're first introduced.Haha!! That is very true !
