> I ask these questions because I'm going to start Parnate on Wednesday. While I'm trying to be optimistic about it, I'm finding it very difficult. I've gone through just about every SSRI and several other drugs with no success. Furthermore, I've had SAD/Depression for so long (about 4 years) that I've forgotten what it's like to not feel this way.

> Thanks.I think you are definitely starting the right drug (Parnate). For me Parnate reduces my SAD to nearly zero. With Parnate on board, i could stand in front of 1000 people and give a long speach..it's works like a miricle for me. Good luck, and remember to give it time to work, generally you'll feel it begin to work with in the first 8-10 days.
