Well, Parnate is recognized as both causing less weight gain and giving more energy, since it's basically a stimulant with MAOI properties. However, it lacks some of Nardil's unique effects and is somewhat more dangerous as far as causing hypertensive reactions. If the weight gain is an important issue for you, it seems like a very logical thing to consider, though.Todd
