I think I've brought this up here once before -- I think the few people who gain weight on speed do so because rather than forget about eating altogether, they just eat really fast. :-) Though it's still debated whether Parnate is actually metabolized to amphetamine and methamphetamine as has been suggested before, something in it certainly causes a release of norepinephrine into the brain that's quite amphetamine-like. And there is at least one case report of a serious Parnate addiction. I don't mean dependency, I mean *addiction*. Like some woman was taking 400-500mg/day to keep the amphetamines in her system:
