In reply to Parnate, Dexedrine Comparison??, posted by Robin on August 4, 1999, at 19:56:54
Not only have I taken both, I have taken both together. (I do not recommend it: had high blood pressure, didn't want to risk continuing the dex.)
I've never taken amphetamine without the MAOI, though, so it's hard to compare. Dexedrine + Parnate and Ritalin + Parnate both felt nasty to me.
Parnate does make some people drowsy in the afternoon. It has a short half-life (about 2 hours). You might not crash as hard, but I think there is a perceptible crash. I take it in divided doses (10mg 3 times a day) to avoid cardiovascular sx, and that smooths it out for the most part.
Low-dose selegiline might be a good thing to try. You could even combine it with Wellbutrin SR, I think.
