parnate impacts mao-B more than it impacts mao-A.. there is a lot of dopamine flowing in the brain to be used..you can see multiple scientific articles detailing the link of dopamine to impulsitivity and addictions..
i didnt find parnate to be a lot more different from amphetamine or any other strong stimulant. infact i had people tell me that i looked like i was a tweaker.
just like other stimulants the crash can be harsh... to the point that if i was close to running out of my prescription i would be getting very uncomfortable and would go beyond my way to get it filled.
nardil is different in that sense.. i am at a point where i dont even like taking the medicine anymore.. sometimes i would just not take it for a couple of days until i would feel like i got hit by depressive and anxiety related symptoms along with other maoi withdrawal effects..
