Quintal,
Thank you for your post. The Australian Nardil is manufactured by Link Pharmaceuticals.
I did respond to Parnate, but only to a certain version of it and only on a long-term basis when I took it with SAMe. Basically, my first trial with Parnate came when my pdoc prescribed me GlaxoSmithKline's Parnate. I ended up staying on the Parnate that my pdoc prescribed to me for only about two weeks, going no higher than 20 mg/day. I noticed a stimulating effect on my first two days of taking Parnate, but nothing after that. What I could not tolerate at the time was the daytime sedation that the medication caused. I ended up sleeping through afternoon and evening classes that I was taking, and so I ended up discontinuing the Parnate prematurely so I could make it to my classes and pass them.
The next time that I tried Parnate, I tried the version manufactured by Goldshield for the U.K. Every time that I would start the medication or increase to a higher dose, I would notice a Nardil-like antidepressant effect that would last for about 3-4 days before I'd lose most of the antidepressant effect. The highest dose that I tried was 30 mg. I was able to get a partial-but-consistent antidepressant response from the medication when I took 20 mg of it with 150 mg of SAMe.
