> It's seems that Parnate though is so dangerous- I just read all of the precautions. How confortable do you feel taking it?

It's not very dangerous really. I'm super-sensitive to the cardiovascular effects (I get high blood pressure if I take too much of it in a single dose - I've actually had to go to taking 10mg three times a day), but otherwise it's fine. (Most people do not have the problems with it that I do.) I've ranted on this board many times about the overly-restrictive diets most people are told to go on; you can find said posts in the archives under various MAOI-related threads.

The biggest danger with Parnate, IMHO, is that of accidentally being given Demerol or other bad stuff by a doctor who doesn't know you're on it.

In combination with low-dose lithium, it seems to have done away with my depression completely.
