Hi all,
I have finally found a doctor who isn't afraid to treat depression aggressively. I have an appt. coming up in a few weeks. On the phone we discussed maois.
I have read a lot of posts about them here. I see that nardil is better for people with anxiety issues (me), but parnate is better for motivation issues (me also).
I have read that nardil causes weight gain in many cases while parnate is less likely to.
I am a 5'2 female weighing in at 208, so my weight gain fears are not frivolous. I'm in my early 30s and getting a lot of problems that obese people get : (
But I am also terrified of MORE anxiety, which is barely kept in check with klonopin and neurontin.
I feel as if my anxiety calls for nardil but my weight and amotivation call for parnate....
I feel inclined to try parnate - maybe it's just a silly gut feeling, but I am scared. Are my fears founded?
Any chance that I won't be at 300 lbs if I try nardil?
Or maybe I need to look at marplan. Anyone here want to vouch for it? I haven't seen anything great about it posted.
And what do people on maois with bad sinus conditions do without sudafed???
Thanks a bunch,
Diane
