Thanks Vincent! I know Nardil can affect so many things and I'm not a very technical person so most of that stuff is over my head. I think I remember talking to you when we were both going to switch to Parnate. Did you do so recently? I was intending to, but now I have to switch psychiatrists and he is going to switch me from Nardil to Parnate. Question for you- did your doctor have you stop Nardil for a certain amount of time prior to starting the Parnate? Or did you take them back to back with no break in between? Also, did you go down in dosage on the Nardil before the switch to Parnate? I have an appt next week, and he knows I want to switch, and I'd like to be ready (or as ready as I can be) to make the switch.
Did/do you have any side effects that you didn't have with Nardil? Nardil really hasn't produced many side effects for me except anorgasmia (which after 4 months, finally went away!! Yeay! Gotta make a post about that one by itself too!), and I can eat and eat and never get full. However, I work out a lot and stay in shape so gaining weight isn't an issue. I never have had insomnia or any other side effects that others seem to have.
Did you suffer from sexual side effects on Nardil? And are they still present with Parnate as well? Also, is it true that you lose your appetite? Boy, I'd love that!
Thanks for your input! Oh, I read about you trying an increase in dosage. How long have you been on Parnate?
