> I thought I was well-versed in my disorder, but I've never come across the term "sympathomimetic agonism" before. Since I'm on Parnate, I'm curious to know what that is.
I think he just means that Parnate has mild amphetamine-like effects -- it enhances the activity of the sympathetic nervous system (which results in some of the "jittery" side effects like tension, increased heart and respiration rates, etc.).
