> In another thread someone (Tomatheus?) was saying something good about itYeah, that was me. However, the Goldshield product that I've been taking has the following qualities:
* It's marketed in the U.K. under the generic name "Tranylcypromine."
* It's not completely flat. It's basically the same size and shape as a mini M&M (sorry about making yet another candy reference).
* Each tablet is pinkish and contains the text "FW 251."
In the reply that I just wrote on this thread to Willyee, I described my response to the U.K. version of the Goldshield Parnate/tranylcypromine as follows:
"I personally found Goldshield's U.K. version of tranylcypromine to be more stimulating than the GlaxoSmithKline version of Parnate. Specifically, the midday fatigue that literally knocked me out every afternoon while I was taking 20 mg/day of the GSK Parnate seemed to be completely nonexistent while I was taking 20 mg/day of Goldshield's U.K. product."
"Of course, it is possible that some individuals might not notice as dramatic of a difference between the two versions of Parnate/tranylcypromine as I did. I also can't say what kind of difference I might have felt between the two versions of the drug if I were taking it at a higher dose."
