I have also heard of some people not gaining weight on Parnate but we're not all the same. Some people have mentioned to be weight-neutral on some meds that are notourious for weight-gain and vise versa. If I would go back to a MAOI (or any mood-altering drug for that matter) I would hope it to have no effect on my weight.
If anyone has had successful treatment in social phobia and/or BP type II long-term (at least 1 year) WITHOUT having it effect their weight I'd love to know about it.
All that said I don't want my weight gain hysteria to shadow the main issue here which is long-term effectivness.
