in my experience and from what i have read, i'd definately say yes

parnate causes weight loss quite often (IME certainly) and nardil may cause some weight gain?(though i rarely hear people complain about it).....

i hear nardil is the best non-benzo med for anxiety..... ummmm..... with the exception of old-school, crazy, toxic stuff of course (beer, demerol, etc, heh)

Hi Rainee, I've only tried one: Moclobemide aka Manerix. It didn't do a thing for me but we're all different. My drugs of choice are anticonvulsants. I'm just starting Lamictal and am quite please so far...

yeah the stimulant effect tends to poop out and then later on the serotonin antidepressant effect kicks in.... i had to give it 16 weeks last time... arrg.. but it was worth it :)
