I am currently taking Parnate, 50 mgs. It has helped with rejection sensitivity and body dysmorphic disorder though (strangely) not as much with the depression itself. I do find it very activating, however, and my cognition has unquestionably improved.
The reason I asked about it vs. Nardil is because of some side effects I've been experiencing. I lost my appetite and lost weight (nine pounds in a week and a half) - since I'm in recovery from anorexia, a dangerous thing for me. I also found it amphetamine-like and started taking higher doses than prescribed, though I have stopped this.
My "official" diagnosis is Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar II (though this is debatable).
