Are you sure we're not all blowing this out of proportion? There's no evidence that willyee was really in mortal danger at any point however gratifying it may be to issue stern warnings. I took huge doses of Parnate myself and had no problems, but increased effect. It was lower doses the pdoc prescribed that were the most dangerous because they made me feel very restless and very suicidal - now that is a deadly combo.
My own Goldshield tranylcypromine tablets are deep rose pink and a flattened oval shape like Smarties, but smaller. They have 'FW 251' printed in edible black ink on one side. According to the patient information leaflet the tablets do have a pharmaceutical glaze and a coating of carnauba wax.
I found Parnate most effective in the 80-120mg range.

Doses of up to 750mg/day have been administered for up to 1 year without adverse effects, and doses up to 200mg/day have been administered for decades, giving tranylcypromine a wide safety margin.
