> Just curious though why when it comes to MAOIs people here try either Parnate or Nardil. When I started Parnate my pDoc gave me a dietary restriction card put out by the generic makers of Marplan. I read here often and hardly ever hear it talked about - so much so that I thought it was off the market. Parnate and Nardil threads are quite common on the other hand....

> Is there a reason it appears to be the so unpopular among the 3?Marplan has a reputation for being less effective than Nardil and Parnate. It is considered to be a "weak Nardil". I don't know that there is any scientific evidence to support this notion. There are some people who respond well to Marplan whom had not responded to Parnate or Nardil. Marplan is usually better tolerated than Nardil with respect to side effects.
