> It's often effective as an antidepressant. It might be somewhat effective for ADHD, Parnate might be better than Nardil. Combining MAOIs with stimulants can sometimes cause severe hypertension. Other people don't experience this effect however and can combine them quite happily. If you were on an MAOI, you'd initially have to take a *very* low dose of a stimulant, you blood pressure would need to be carefully monitored.

> No. I just wondered whether you'd benefit since you mentioned that you'd tried a few SSRIs with no success. Nardil is often very effective for anxiety. What other treatments have you tried for your anxiety? eg. BuSpar etc.

but i would have been to if this internet thing had been around since the early 1990s.do you freak your frends/acquantances out with pb stuff?
All i knew at 20 was that there was something different bout me, where I tried to live like my m8s but suffered for it, and had terrible anxiety, and difficulty keeping a job. I was constantly searching for the reason why I was like I was. I SUFFERED for MANY years untreated, while my life stalled.
I was put on Xanax by a Psydoc over 2 years ago for GAD-panic.
I prefered the sedation from the Diazepam thought-more predictable, thought as stated ED, I'm tolarant to the sadation now.Nothing MAKES me anxious or panic-well Flying maybe.
I tried Imipramine-gained 8kgs in 4 weeks and fainted twice.
I hope I answered you, forgotten the rest.
You obviously have an interest in Pharmacy/Medication/drugs---like me, follow it, my frend, you will be unhappy doing anything else, i think.
Til nxt time
