Hello, I've been here periodically mostly with questions about Parnate. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to very soon. If anyone has any experience with Parnate or other MAOIs I would really appreciate a response! :)
I suffer from strong anhedonia, lack of libido, and emotional blunting (which I guess are symptoms of major depression, but they are my only symptoms).
1.) Can Parnate or other MAOIs restore emotions and libido while getting rid of anhedonia?
2.) Is Parnate like other AD's where you really have to look hard to see if there are any improvements, or is it really obvious?
3.) I have the inability to feel naturally induced feelings of euphoria. I have heard of start-up euphoria on Parnate/Nardil, but that it fades away. Does that mean I'll never feel really happy/euphoric ever again??
4.) Can ECT clear this up?
5.) Any other suggestions for anhedonia, emotional blunting, and no libido?
