> JayYeah Jay, initially I had problems with my BP but that was cause I went off the MAOI diet too soon. This time its totally different. My BP is actually much better on Parnate, its dropped tremendously since being on it. All you have to do is be self disciplined and follow the MAOI diet. Since Im a self disciplined kind of guy, this is not a problem for me.
So far the biggest problem on Parnate has been the dizziness and lightheadedness from the orthostatic hypotension side effect. It also creates a lot of insomnia, which Ive never experienced before on antidepressants.
Basically its kind of like speed. Not a bad antidepressant at all so far. Its really improved my concentration and focus.
