> You say my description is "text book" but I have always read that leaden paralysis is "a sensation of heaviness in limbs". What I experience is not a heaviness per se, but more a fatigue upon exertion.
I see. I guess I misinterpreted your words. For me, I experience something similar to what you describe here - premature muscle fatigue and things feeling heavier. It's as if there is an increase in the sensitivity to lactic acid. With depression, I guess there is some sort of change in nociception. I have bipolar depression, which often looks similar to atypical depression. Parnate is often the first choice of a MAOI for bipolar disorder. For some, though, Nardil works better. My only long-term remission was achieved using a combination of Parnate and desipramine.
