I've been on 30 mg of tranylcypromine for three days now and I'm finally noticing some small changes.
1) I'm a bit less anxious around other people. It's a different quality from benzos, which sort of sedate me but don't make me want to socialize. It's more of a pro-social, "I'm happy to talk to you now" sort of thing.
2) I feel like I can think better. Not so much cloudy thinking as I've had in the past. I have some definite (subsyndromal?) ADD tendencies and these are clearing up. I can follow conversations somewhat better.
3) Enjoying things I used to enjoy. This is a nice change. I'm actually engaging in certain activities, and wanting to, because they are FUN. I've been so apathetic towards everything that this is a nice change for me.
It's not a tremendous, "boom!" type of change, but it is noticeable. I like it.
Side effects: none. :) My sleep was just plain irregular for a few days but now it's normalized. No insomnia, no shorter length of sleep. I've seen no effect (no increase/decrease) in my appetite.
No blood pressure weirdness. It did raise my BP the first few days but now it's back to normal. (I naturally have a bit of hypotension anyway. My pre-Parnate BP average was 106/67.) It's probably a good thing that I started slow, I might be getting syncope feeling tremendous dizziness.
So, I am taking these as good signs anyway. :)
