On Parnate after one month I have reduced, but not dangerously reduced appetite-lost 10 lbs of which I needed to, My Libido is great w/ no anorgasmia or erection probs, no dry mouth , no constipation, no hypertension probs, the only side effect i'm having is insomnia..being treated successfully with Trazodone and benadrl. And best of all, I have no Depression, No Anxiety, no OCD, and No Social Phobia. :) Take care.
