> Wow, this stuff really gets to work right away, huh? I'm not going to make any wild claims like my depression is completely eradicated, but I just thought I'd report that for the first time since discontinuing Adderall last week I stayed awake, had plenty of energy and a drastically reduced appetite today. I was sleeping 20 hours a day after the withdrawal and eating us out of house and home, lol, so this is a welcome change. I slept a sound eight hours last night and I don't feel at the moment that insomnia will be a problem, though I have Seconal just in case.

My current (and at last, I believe, *accurate*) diagnosis is dysthymic disorder with atypical reactive features, panic disorder, and avoidant personality disorder/severe social phobia.

I'd like to hear more about your experiences. Keep us posted! There's a number of people here just starting Parnate and it would be interesting to hear what everyone is experiencing.
