I am a medical student.I am also a patient.
I take Parnate.
I take Halcion.
I am currently doing research in psychopharmacology, sponsored by NIMH. I have done research sponsored by pharmaceutical companies in the past but found them utterly distasteful in the way that data was ignored or "dropped" or dismissed.
Parnate has changed my life. I agree with this doctor's assessment about SSRIs and I will be one psychiatrist who, upon graduation, will not be afraid to use MAOIs as a first line treatment.
