> Alright, well it seems to be that there are VERY mixed results on these drugs, although I havent heard much about Marplan, except that it is a "watered down version" of Parnate I believe it was. So i'll probably start on either Nardil or Parnate, whichever my pdoc recommends. If there's only 3 anyway, might as well just jump right on it, whichever one it is.

> ThanksThe mode of action of any psychoactive medication is not known. I have suffered with my disorder all my life I am 45 now. Parnate has been helpfull to me, unfortunatly that help only lasts for 3 months. After April,May and June I discontinue it and try other treatments. This has been my program for 20 years. Probably 30 years ago I suspected my disorder was an endocrine imbalance. They are slowly getting closer to understanding endocrine based mood disorders. Time will tell but most mood disorders could be endocrine based and not monominergic.
