> - ScottHe could try Marplan. Was on it roughly 12yrs. Never any deep depression, well non much anyway. Easy to ad stuff too. You could even keep ur other meds except Parnat. But done very carefully you can cross-taper. I did that when I switched back from Marplan. Just please tell a doc 1st. Even if you are gonna do it without help just let a qualified dr of what you are doing. If you like i can give yo rough guidance on how i switch but remember I've yet to try Parnate. This was coming off isocarboxazid.
good luck
