> My impression of Parnate from reading people's experiences on this board is that the side effects aren't really that bad. Nardil is
parnate has side effects?? you mean like increased libido and decreased appetite?
i've been on it a year now, it's definately life changing for me (tried effexor, SSRIs, etc, only partial remission) ... though i do take low dose parnate (30 mg) whereas i was taking high dose everything else (like 225 or 300 mg effexor etc)
anyways it's quite strange.. i am (was?) bipolar, but i have been off a mood stabilizer for a while and am totally stable, taking an maoi (parnate) + a stimulant (ritalin)
i don't really think of the dietary restrictions -- no marmite, red wine (i wouldn't drink anyways), aged cheese (i can eat most cheese), tofu (this is the only one i am really afraid of since my roomate offers me a lot of chinese food covered in tofu but in restaurants i'm okay)
