Been on and off NARDIL for a few years...tried Buspar, SSRIs and Benzos - I've felt worse while on those medications than when off.
BUT...
I find after 4 or so months on this medication/NARDIL that it starts to loose a great deal of its effectiveness (otherwise it's an absolute 'miracle drug' re SAD, GAD and Dysthymia).
Q. Does Parnates effects compare (re Genaralized Socail Anxiety in particular)?
Q. Does Parnates anti-anxiety effects drop away like Nardils does?
Q. How does Parnate affect memory, concentration, sleep, sexual function etc??
Q. Can you/do you augment Parnate with any other medication too improve it's effectiveness?
Q. Does it require any adherance to a special diet? (I never have while on 90mg NARDIL - with never a problem)
Q. Why did you opt for/end up on Parnate as opposed to Nardil?
P.S. I get Viagra via India at 50c a day - dysfunction no-longer a side-effect but more of a pro-effect as I can go for hours on end...(if that's of any help for anyone)
