> Hi,
> I have a few questions for you if you don't mind. I am new to this site, not new to anxiety or depression. I have been diagnosed with severe GAD with secondary depression. I have been put on parnate, started at 20 mg. I have read conflicting information regarding which one works better for anxiety, and I was wondering if you suffered more from depression or anxiety? This is my first MAO after being on 10 other meds in the past 6 years, I can't really say that parnate is working or isn't working. I still have clonazepam to help me through the evenings.

Hi Jill,
I believe without a doubt, and this is based on not just my experience, but also my reading of many, many clinical reports and anecdotes, that NARDIL is the better agent to use in anxiety. Indeed, Nardil interacts with GABA (the 'calm' neurotransmitter) whereas Parnate does not. That being said, I have heard of some who respond great to Parnate for anxiety. But I have never ever, or maybe once or twice at the very most, heard of anyone deeming Parnate superior over Nardil for anxiety. A few seem to think it is better, and more geared towards depression.

You say your depression is secondary- I would urge a trial of NARDIL. Give the Parnate a bit more time but if it doesn't work, don't despair, Nardil is available.

I myself suffer from just about every anxiety disorder there is! My depression can be severe at times, but is secondary to my anxiety symptomatology. Nardil works WONDERFUL for both...

Good luck!

Ace.
