> Hi Judy,
> I do know of a doctor in the Georgia area who treats many refractory patients successfully with the parnate/deprenyl combo. A woman I corresponded with did very well on 40mg Parnate, 30mg Deprenyl. I believe there was even a study being done using these meds, but this was going back a few years. The Dr. I spoke of is part of a research oriented program who treats many patients with new and non-traditional protocals.Thanks for the info.
Would it be inappropriate for you to mention this doctor's name or the research program he is affiliated with? I would be interested in this sort of treatment alternative.
> One question Judy,I think you mentioned Nardil being better for your anhedonia than Parnate.
This has also been my experience.
> Could you please elaborate on the benefits of nardil vs parnate that you experienced. I had a good energizing effect from parnate, but it didn't improve my anhedonia, which has really been a problem for me. Maybe nardil would work better? I didn't realize these two drugs could have different AD properties.
Nardil seems to be used more often than Parnate for anxiety disorders, social phobia, and OCD. Parnate is usually preferred to Nardil for bipolar depression. There are differences, but no hard rules.
