I think generally people on parnate also need a benzo, compared to nardil, as it does not have effect on gaba as nardil does. of course some people only need the antidepressant to have an effect.
Really, i think you might consider nardil with a stimulant or tca added, as they can increase blood pressure and might make such a drug work for you.
As far as diet...Protein power is ok on an MAOI. I drink whey protein no problem. The one thing to keep in mind is that protein shakes, especially whey, as quite quick digesting, unlike casien or meat which digest slowly and keep insulin levels low. Convenience is important, might want to think about a different protein source. Also, hopefully you have had tests done to see if you can find the reason for wieght gain...a problem like thyroid could be at the root.
bonne chance
