It's interesting how individual response to medications differs. I have tried both Parnate and Nardil and found my response to be different than expected. On the Parnate, I was overwhelmed with hypersomnolance and found myself sleeping 14+ hours per day with minimal anti-depressive benefit. With the Nardil, I reponded in about 10 days and became more energetic, reducing my sleep time to 6-7 hours nightly with no desire for napping during the day. No success with SSRI's. Diagnoses are social phobia/SAD and atypical depression. What I'm trying to say is that generalities about these two meds hold true for most, but individual response may be quite different. So, it's worth trying the other if one doesn't provide benefit.
