Hi. Another option that was mentioned to me by the psychopharmacologist would be to take a very high dosage of Manerix - 900-1000 mg so that it acts like Parnate.
Anyone here who has been on Manerix was dosage were you on?

Maxime, this is an interesting link that I found on Mnaerix. Sounds interesting, I wonder we have not heard more of this drug? Anyone out there that has used Manerix?

Yeah I'm using it, but not much, today 75mg am. Also take 1mg deprenyl and 400mg SAMe which may make a difference. It would make me *too* anxious and snappy to take more than 150mg/d. More activating than mood brightening, and no good for SP. The pubmed abstracts hint at this when they say that it may be less effective for people who have had benzo and alcohol problems.
I'm hoping Parnate has more of a mood brightening, comforting, anti-SP profile than does moclobemide.
Would someone who has taken both like to compare them, especially for SP.

I took a low dose of Manerix 500 mg (low compared to what the psychopharmacologist suggested) and it did nothing. She wouldn't let me increase it any higher.
If I took the higher dosage and it had a mood brightening then it would be better than Parnate which doesn't. It just speeds you up and motivates you.
Thanks for the link. I might bring it when I see my pdoc. I wish I could find one that compares it to Parnate.
