> On MAOIs, I'm just a bit worried by what I've heard about their effect on cognitive ability and memory. I also saw my best friend on Chlorpromazine and was scared by the way it changed him (and I know MAOIs are related). Have you found problems like this?

When Parnate worked for me, I experienced cognitive clearing, improved memory, calmness, clarity and promptness in decision making, went to sleep without trouble and without oversleeping, and felt at peace with myself for the first time in years. Everyone reacts differently to these drugs, though, even with the same diagnosis. If Parnate doesn't work out, there's Nardil, Marplan, or Aurorix. Chlorpramazine is a phenothiazine anti-psychotic, chemically unrelated to MAO inhibitors. It was used for psychosis and schizophrenia, conditions unrelated to atypical depression.
