"Amie Sans Vie", what you say is quite important to me. I used to take Moclobemide with good results (until it stopped working after a few months). Moclobemide had started wotking very quickly (really after only a few days) and it gave me a bit of "good restless" similar to what I image Ritalin might have done if I were to take it.

After my Moclobemide pooped out I am now just starting Nardil. I am having a few troublesome side effects which may pass but I am very interested in what you say about Parnate being energising espcially as I did extremely well on a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, reboxetine, apart from side effects.

I know Parnate is supposed to be the most energising or agitating of the MAOIs and I guess that this is due to the amphetamine-like metabolites which you describe.

My BIG question to you is ... does Nardil have these similar speed-like metabolites?

Also, do you suppose that Nardil increases norepinephrine significantly less than Parnate does?

If not then maybe I should get my psych-doc to switch me to Parnate.
