> Okay then.. and sorry to keep going on.. but what about weight gain? And how do you handle the diet?
The reason my doctor put me on Parnate as opposed to Nardil or any other MAOI is specifically because it's not supposed to promote weight gain. I've actually lost some weight since I started Parnate. Nothing too dramatic, but I'm definitely not gaining anymore.
Like said though, Parnate is specifically supposed to be better for this particular side effect than the other MAOIs if weight gain is a concern of yours. For me, I'm already greatly overweight, so any weight gain is bad.
