So,I'm trying to make a decision between these two.After being treated with various ssri's,snri's,and wellbutrin my doctor is open to either Parnate or Nardil.I have SAD and SA with mild to moderate depression.I have lost intersts in a lot of my passions and become displacent.
My dilema is choosing between these two.From what I've read Nardil seems to work better on the anxiety issue due to its affect on GABA-great but tends to be sedating and can cause weight gain.Not good since I just got my weight under control and I don't want something that would be sedating.I thought of addind Provigil but it's to expensive.I don't know of another med that can be used safely that has stimulating properties like Provigil.
Now Parnate seems to be more stimulating,is pretty neutural with weight and is less prone to sexual dysfunction-great but does not seem to have such a strong anti-anxiety effect overall if I am correct.Which is bad for me.I'm throwing this out for any advice,feedback or experiences.I am currently in a washing out period for Wellbutrin before I see the doctor in 2 weeks.I also take Klonopin.
