I ask because on Nardil I've found complete remission of SA.. have others found the same using Parnate? I'm interested in the less side effects with Parnate, especially the weight gain.
Thanks!

I'd think since it's said that parnate is energizing it wouldn't help anxiety/panic but could be wrong. Phillipa

I've read studies on this. On start-up, your definately going to notice more activation with Parnate. However, by weeks 8-12, there is suppose to be little or no difference in efficacy with social anxiety. You may need to add a low dose of benzo for the transition though. Last time I read Parnate was 60/40 MAO-B MAO-A and Nardil was 55/45 MAO-A MAO-B. MAO-A working mostly on SE and NE while MAO-B only Dopamine and other 'feel good' chemicals.

If you've achieved complete remission, you really shouldn't change meds unless there's a VERY good reason for doing so. What would you do if you switched to Parnate and it didn't work, so you switched back to Nardil and it didn't work the second time around? It's happened to other people. Be careful.
