> I was really interested in trying Parnate but then I red this: "Parnate version in Italy is tranycylpromine binded to an antypsychotic".
> Any comment of any sort ? Should I try it the same ? Should I order "the real Parnate" on line ? The only MAOI commercialized in Italy is tranycylpromine but it's mixed with other stuff ! oh, what a mess : /
Francesco, if you take a thorough look through Dr. Amen's site (www.brainplace.com) you will notice that all the irregularities he has categorized and treated involve drugs *other* than MAOIs.
http://www.brainplace.com/bp/prescriptions/default.asp
Here, let me play cut and paste, concentrating on the drugs to the exclusion of his complementary strategies...
-------------------------------------------------
"Prefrontal Cortex Prescriptions":
"Ritalin, Cylert, Adderall, Desoxyn or Dexedrine"
Those are all psychostimulants.
-------------------------------------------------
"Cingulate Prescriptions":
"Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor, Anafranil, Luvox, Serzone"
Those are SSRIs, a (S+N)RI (Effexor), a tricyclic (Anafranil), and one that is off in a category by itself (Serzone).
-------------------------------------------------
"Temporal Lobe Prescriptions":
"Depakote, Tegretol, Neurontin, Dilantin and other anticonvulsants"
Self-explanitory.
-------------------------------------------------
"Limbic Prescriptions":
"Norpramin, Tofranil, Wellbutrin and other antidepressants"
OK, something of a catch-all here, but TCAs and an atypical.
-------------------------------------------------
"Basal Ganglia Prescriptions":
"Buspar, Xanax, Ativan and other antianxiety agents"
BZD agonists and another unique one (Buspar).
-------------------------------------------------
Most of the folks on this forum who take MAOIs have social anxiety/phobia which wasn't addressed by other medications. From the posts of yours that I have read, it seems that if anything that's not your problem!
