indeed.. i didnt mean to imply that parnate does not impact mao-A.. i think not only does parnate impact mao-B more but it also acts as a DRI (as documented in the literature)..i do not feel like i am on amphetamine on nardil.. amphetamine is a DRI.
i was referring to the point that parnate can increase impulsitivity and with more dopamine flowing in the brain i would assume that impulsive and addictive behaviors will be more rewarding.. nardil is not immune to that effect as it also hits mao-B but i have certainly noticed that impusitivity and addictive behaviors are more pronounced with parnate..
those were simply my reactions to parnate and i am sure that others may not have similar reactions... the parnate crash, impulsitivity and lesser impact on social anxiety than nardil were the main reasons i switched to nardil.. i do wish i did not react that way because parnate has very minimal physical side effects like weight gain..
