> As far as Parnate vs Nardil, I've heard Parnate is a bit more tolerable, and has less weight gain than Nardil. Although Nardil may be less likely to induce a hypertensive crysis. Are they about the same, or do you have a preference one way or the other? My anxiety is a primary concern with depression a close 2nd, would one be better than the other, or would both work nearly the same. Also what is your experience with other MAOIs (open for any poster), like Marplan, Emsam and the Reversible one Moclobemide?

> ThanksHi bearfan,
I liked Jedi's description of Parnate in terms of its "speediness" Much like a stim. I haven't tried Nardil, but I would be much more comfortable giving presentations, etc. on Parnate than off. But I was fine before depression as well. Emsam was very much like Parnate to me but I was only on it for a month or two. When I started increasing dose, I switched to Parnate as food restricts were going to come into play anyway. With anxiety as your primary disorder, though, you have a good argument for Nardil. Its a tough call.
Good Luck!
