I made a reference to Table 2 in my previous post; I should have said Table 1 for the comparison of Nardil and Parnate based on 141 Nardil test subjects and 41 for Parnate.
Table 2 is actually a comparison of Nardil vs the tricyclic amitriptyline, a drug generally regarded as having notoriously bad side effects. Nardil does wind up having fewer overall side effects on a statistical basis, but my opinion is that amitriptyline is likely more intolerable than what the data indicates. For instance, the statistics show both drugs reported as sedating by a similar percentage of test subjects, but I have to believe the actual effect on the subjects of the heavily sedating amitriptyline is noticeably more intense than that of the mildly/moderately sedating Nardil.
