I expect it would be at least as stimulating as Parnate as it is the MAOI that metabolizes to amphetamine & methamphetamine.

Here in Bangkok, the repressive government thinks nothing of having police raid night establishments and subjecting patrons to urine tests for these drugs. Not only do I feel this is an invasion of my privacy, but on a medical level, I'd fear that they would be unable to distinguish between results of a test for illegal and legal drugs, and who knows what kind of penalty I'd get? I don't patronize these establishments but I feel I need to know the ramifications of a drug test on any patient who's taking Parnate.
Would you or someone else please comment?
