I took 60 mg of the Parnate. I actually lost about 30 pounds while taking it, and I definitely do not want to regain the weight. However, I would rather be fat and happy than skinny and suicidal. The side effects from the Parnate were really not that bad. I was never sleepy, just a little tired while taking it.
How long have you been taking the Parnate after the Nardil stopped working. I am very afraid that the same thing will happen with the Nardil, and like I said before, my options are few.
Thanks so much for your response!
