> ScottHi, Nardil rocks my world! Unfortunately I suffered a clinical depression from Parnate. I must emphasis that many love Parnate, and some, like Cubbybear, have MANY excellant years on it...it works like a charm for some.
However, from the many, many anecdotes and clinical reports I have read, I would say Nardil is on top in terms of efficacy and amount of people who respond.
That being said, some respond better to Parnate, albeit rarely. Some respond well to both. Parnate, for the most part, does not have as many s/effects as Nardil. But Nardil's s/effects usually pass gradually.
IMO, both are excellant drugs and safe over the long run, and i wish you the best with whatever you try....
