Thanks Jedi,
I would like to know how the Parnate goes for ya, it made me wanna sleep for 2 or so hours randomly all the time, but a high dose might be different.> > My main problem is Social anxiety and lack of pleasure (motivation). Ive tried every drug there is up to about 4 5 times!!,,, they all poop out.
> > Im currently on Nardil 90mg's and it pooped out a little but still works ok compared to all the rest.
> > Main problem is severe weight gain.
> > Im thinking of trying bupropion with effexor (had the most luck with effexor of the ss/nri's and maybe something else)

> Hi,
> I've mixed bupropion(300mg) with Nardil(90mg) with no problem. They are contraindicated so you would need a pretty open minded PDOC to prescribe the two together. The bupropion did help with the weight and sexual side effects of Nardil.

> I am in the process of a switch from Nardil to Parnate, mostly because of the massive weight gain on Nardil. At one point I had put on over 100 pounds with the drug. My problem is that every time I have been off Nardil in the past 10 years, my atypical major depression with social anxiety has returned. I did a trial of Parnate six years ago and it did not do the job. However, with my current MD, I think I can demonstrate with controlled studies how high dosages of Parnate can work for treatment resistant depression.

> Take care,
