Thank you for the responses everyone.
> I am curious as to whether or not that is a common thread with the MAOIs...I started Parnate a week ago and my word recall is really bad and for some reason, I have problems making the simplest decision (today, whether or not to get chicken nuggets or a chicken sandwich--at least a 15 minute call).
Oh i freaking HATE that!! (the indecisive crap). That might actually be from an aggravation of obsessive-compulsive shi* if you have some OC problems anyway though, BUT...
if not, i think that, as well as your poor word recall, will improve. Parnate is supposed to have procognitive effects (i'm pretty sure) and for the most part has definitely had them w/ me in the month that i've been on it-- including word retrieval (unless it just increases my confidence level enough to make me stupid enough to THINK that my cognition and word-usage is better!! -- WOULDN'T be surpRISed!!).
But yeah, i was afraid if i switched to Nardil that i would become a bumbling baffoon again-- but from what you all said it looks like that effect goes away shortly. That's good news. Thanks.
