Re: To SLS, Parnate Question

Parnate is somewhat selective for MAO-B, which is responsible for deaminating (splitting up) dopamine. The effect of Parnate, then, is to allow for a build up and subsequent release of dopamine. It also works to increase levels of phenethylamine (PEA), a neuromodulator, as well. PEA can increase the levels of dopamine in frontal regions of the brain. Parnate itself acts as an amphetamine, but only at 10% the potency of d-amphetamine. There are some old studies reporting the efficacy of Parnate in treating ADD. There is no reason why one could not combine Parnate with amphetamine or methylphenidate to treat depression comorbid with ADD.
