> I've wondered about Parnate. Is it really good for anhedonia and "sluggish cognitive" tempo as the OP described it? Have there been success stories with Parnate curing anhedonia on this board?
>Hello,
I took Parnate for roughly a year and it was definately a success story for me (at higher doses) for the symptoms you describe. Especially when combined with a stim. Very effective for MDD and TRD. Its a risky business however and I had to stop both. You'd want to take as small a dose as needed, and have close pdoc supervision.
As for light headedness, I had a real problem with that due to LOW blood pressure. The stim brought my blood pressure back to normal.
For anhedonia without mdd or trd, parnate may be overkill. jmho. Hope that helps.
