Parnate for Social Anxiety?

Posted by Tom Twilight on February 3, 2006, at 15:41:17

Has anyone had any experiences of using Parnate to treat SA?

I'm currently taking Marplan 60mgs but it doesn't seem to be helping enough with SA or depression.

I know that Parnate can be used to treat SA, although it supposedly as good as Nardil.

Marplan is also causing me to gain weight which is very annoying!

Have you considered trying a benzo like klonopin? If you're primary issue is SP seems that either klonopin (without weight issues) or Nardil would be popular choices. Good luck

I've tried Klonopin, it wiped out SP at 1mg but left me feeling depressed and very sleepy.
Also scared of Dependence

More like a heavy duty sedative for me than an anti-Anxiety med!

Parnate is your power medication,it can at times ease that gut wrenching i wanna vomit and die depression,and that there is great.It also is powerful enough for some to halt a depression so bad u make a u turn from the ER room,this is why parnate i think is so widly liked,in extreme measures it fights depression with gloves off.

Long term after five years the drug alone i find is not very good for social problems,perhaps the gaba issue,or over stimulation.

But it does play nice witha LOT of gaba drugs.

As for nardil,i think we ALLL missed out on a very very usedful effective drug,after using it myself,and reading tons upon tons of nardil veterans actualy stopping nardil due to this new formulation,i believe i will never get the chance to have tried NARDIL in true form,this pill currently out stinks in my personal opinion,im glad ace likes it,but i ran back to parnate quite quickly.

Again i do personaly for some reason believe had i tried the OLD nardil i prob would have found greater overall relieaf than parnate alone,but out of marplan,new nardil,id have to say parnate is still the best of the three,you WILL just have to work on augmenting it to assist with some excess stimulation and social stuff.
