John,
Hi there. I take Parnate and it seems to be working pretty well. I got off to a false start because it caused *spontaneous* hypertensive episodes (I'm told this is rare - lucky me), but found that dividing the dose up and increasing it very gradually prevented that.
The only real side effect seems to be insomnia, and that's not so bad if I don't take it too late in the day (much like caffeine). I do think it has some intrinsic amphetamine-like effects, because it seemed to start working *awfully* fast.
The diet isn't much of a problem for me; it's never stopped me from eating whatever I want.
Oh, the subject: field for this thread made me think of one other thing: no nightmares on Parnate! No dreams at all actually. :-(
