Hope you're feeling better. I think each MAOI is somewhat different. Some are stimulating, some are calming, some are mixed. Parnate was a stimulant for me, I had to take seroquel with it to get any sleep. Some people report that Parnate makes them tired. Everyone reacts a little differently. Nardil is mostly relaxing to me. However I have had periods of hypomania on it. I have also had late afternoon sleepiness on Nardil. This is a common side effect.My diagnosis is treatment resistant atypical double depression, with generalized and social anxiety(now, that's a mouthful). The dysthymia and social anxiety have been with me most of my life. My first major depression hit when I was forty. Nardil is the only med that has worked for me. I currently take 75mg daily along with 1mg of clonazepam, plus about 3 grams of fish oil.
Be Well,
Jedi
