> OK, Ace, we all know that you are Psychobabble's Official Nardil crusader, but please be fair to us Parnate lovers. You left the impression that Nardil might even be better than Parnate. Different strokes for different folks.
No. I always mention that Parnate can be wonderful for some people and that Parnate has more consistency over any SSRI. However, between Nardil and Parnate, and I have the clinical trials and anecdotes backing me (I mean hundreds of clinical trials and anecdotes!) Nardil is more consistent. Every now and then you here of negative responses to Parnate, but Nardil, out of hundreds, has maybe 2-3 non-respondents.Parnate can be great- I fully concede this. For instance MelD did OK on Nardil, but Parnate really helped her.
Please believe me that I am not projecting my own bad experience of Parnate onto these statements. And it is wonderful, truly wonderful, it works so well for you.
I am not being biased because of my love of Nardil- the reason I tried it was because I had NEVER seen so many positive response.
In closing, I believe both are great meds, however, I still think, Nardil is more consistent.
Ace.
