Hi Ed.
At one time, it was Parnate that was the MAOI of choice in treating BPD.

It seems selegiline may put depressed one in "BPD state".

Hi jyl,
I'm sorry to hear that it didn't help. Was it Nardil that you tried? ...or another MAOI such as Parnate?
Thank you for your help,
Ed.

Hi Ixus!
>I had a diagnosis of BPD.
My pdoc said that I have borderline traits, but not the full personality disorder.
>Atypical depression/dysthymia has many common symptoms with BPD.
True, I have had atypical depression.
I'm very glad to hear that the Parnate helped. I would very much like to try Parnate.
Thank you Ixus.
Kind regards,
Ed.
