> I am bipolar (also mild) and am on Emsam (18mg/2 9mg patches daily) with no affect on that afflication. I know I am lucky and I am sorry that it has brought out the bad side for you. Parnate is the MAOI of choice for people who are bipolar with less of a tendency to jump into a manic state. YOu might give it a try. No weight gain either...in fact weight loss is the norm.

> Territhat is important, no weight gain. and not a tendency to get that awful mixed state. I was afraid it would make me too jumpy from what i have read, seems that is a problem for me but sounds like the votes are coming in for parnate. what have i got to lose? I am making an emergency appt to see the pdoc as soon as she gets in tues and will talk to her about that.
thanks for responding, that helps as much as anything, people are listening and care enough to answer. that really really helps.donna
