Just generalizations, but Nardil tends to be more sedating while Parnate tends to be more stimulating. There's been lots of dicussion on this, and most patients and doctors have their own preference. I've only been on Nardil. I know you're worried about weight gsin and it's a possibility. I find that Nardil makes me hungry at night. I combine it with a sleep med that also makes me hungry. I have to watch out for night times. But during the day, my appetite is pretty normal. Although I did gain some weight initially, it seems to have levelled off. With some willpower and careful watching of my diet, I hope to go back down to my baseline weight. I think Parnate is less likely tan Nardil to cause weight gain.
