I was on Nardil from March to August and just switched to Parnate. It sounds like I had a better experience on Nardil than you did, but I did suffer from some of the same side effects. I think you would find Parnate better in almost every area you described, as it is a lot more dopaminergic--more activating and motivating, better libido, little if any anticholinergic-type side effects, and I'm finding I am more assertive and self confident on it also. However, I believe my dosage is not quite high enough (30 mg), and I am still experiencing some bouts of depression. I sympathize with your situation, as I am currently having to deal with a few issues of my own with a mindset that is not the greatest. Keep in mind that your perceptions are being colored by your depression; I can testify from very recent experience that things are really not as bad as they might seem.Todd
