> Michael: It has worked very well. More outgoing, sleep better, more energy, much better outlook on life, enjoy doing things I did not before, etc... Side effects: Around 8pm or so I get sleepy, but in a nice way. Diet restrictions, from what I understand hinge somewhat on dosage (the higher you go, the greater the chance of a hypertensive episode). From previous post I've read, this problem with maoi's is somewhat overblown, but does exist. It's a small price to pay for getting rid of your depression. You just have to keep an eye on it. Best of blessings to you!

S. -Thanks for the info. Just wondering if that was the result of the parnate alone, or in conjunction with the lithium? Was the lithium added to the parnate? (i.e. To address side effects? Or as an augmenting agent?) Thanks again,
michael
