> Hello. I am just wondering whether the hypotension associated with the MAOIs is serious? I mean do you feal dizziness and weakness all day round?!

no. and it only lasts (in my case) for a week or so (don't remember) but then it went away completely.


> Is it only postural hypotension or general one?

for me i only noticed it when i was standing up too quickly, during the start of treatment

in other words, it is not something i even think about now.

>
> I am considering a MAOI for my Avoidant Personality Disorder. I have severe social anxiety. Is it true that Parnate is more useful and more energizing/stimulating, but then wont this make my social anxiety worse?!

yes parnate is one of the few (only?) stimulating drugs that don't make social anxiety worse. in fact, it seemed to help it quite a bit.


> I just don't want to go all day round feeling tired and zombie esp since I am attending college. I just don't want compromise my mental functioning. Can they interfere with my studies?!

parnate definately improved my cognitive functioning, YMMV

>
> Thanks mates,
> Ted

cheers, and good luck
