In reply to Parnate and weight gain/loss, posted by Dirk on April 30, 2003, at 0:42:15
> Am about to start Parnate in 2 weeks after Lexapro washout. Does anyone have any first-hand knowledge of weight gain or loss from Parnate? Weight is a very sensitive topic for me and I would like to know what to expect from this new drug.

> Thanks a lotParnate is known to promote weight loss! Quite nice for a change after so many meds that put on weight. I've been on it for 1 1/2 years and almost immediately once it started working for me I started losing weight (I was extremely overweight). Part of it is from the med and partly because I felt better and was able to snowball the weight loss.
Anyway, once in a while I hear someone that gains from it - but in general it's supposed to aid weight loss.
Good luck with it!
