>Granted, this is n=1, but I found Parnate to be more anxiolytic than Nardil, and I'm about as anxious as they came. Maybe the effect was dose-related, but at 60mg+, I found Nardil to be too activating for my liking. At 20mg, Parnate violently exacerbated my OCD, but once I hit 30mg, it was smooth sailing. I probably would have continued with Parnate if it wasn't for the insomnia.
