Sorry to hear the tone of ur post,im where u are off and on,so take comfort in knowing as bad as it seems u can soon be offering advice to someone else,things can change,im 27 by the way so i know how much it sucks to see friends pass u by in life as u sit in a pit of quick sand.
Your post first leaves me to ask why did u stop NARDIL if you said it helped,did u try adding klonopin to nardil,these are two of some of the most effective SA medications out there?
If you post your reasons for going off nardil,which im sure u will,let me answer now.........YESS defintalty if u had success on nardil shoot right for parnate,skip any other thing such as remeron,they are not the same.
Some advantages of parnate are.....very little if none at all sexual side effects,actualy it can make u more sexual just finising seems to be a problem,but u get ur fighter up and stnading which should be enough for now.Second weight,in general parnate will decrease your appetitite,now there are always exceptions and i have heard of people gaining weight on it,but in general its known as a mild stimulant and should surpress apetitite.
Third, usualy works extremly fast,there is a good chance youll notice a significant effect in 48 hrs,now 2 weeks is still ideal for full effect,owever parnate when its first started usualy kicks a- and u could very possable feel like a different person in a day or two,most people who first start the med notice it to be very very energizing.
Down side,well parnate is notorious for pooping out,nardil whenit works for someone usualy is more stable,but nardil usualy takes more time to settle in ,and usualy side effects appear before benifit,where as parnate its the opposite usualy you feel the benifits of the medication before u notice the insomnia etc side effects.
So im not a doc,nor do i play one on the net,but i am a veteran parnate user,and i remeber the success i had on parnate the first few weeks ere bliss,im unfortunatly battling its poop out since i seee not other viable options to swtich to.
So i say personaly,just my opinion,go right to parnate,most maoi responders are just that,MAOI responders period.GOOD LUCK
