Unfortunatly i dont agree self medicating with parnate is such a bad idea,ive contacted glaxco a number of times,and broken down to the pharmacy level where they still stumbled over there own words,and basicaly read from sites i was reading from word by word.
Docs used the paragraph or so in the PDR to work with it.Which is very little.
Uusaly a doc will have so much everyay experiance with a drug theyll learn the most that way,parnate being a drug usualy uncommon,its NOT uncommon i believe for a doc to not use it correctly,or at least most benificiacly,i think my last doc preferred i suggested to her dose ranges,as she seemed not to remember much of it except it helped a great deal of patients before she stopped using maois period.
