> i think parnate worked immediately (stimulant properties) but then gave out after 1 month... then took 2 more months before the AD effect really kicked in ... and even then i had to push myself to do things... but when i finally did push myself, it worked like nothing else ever has .... so i'd say in my experience MAOIs take longer to work ....
i was on Parnate for about 2 or 3 months last year, and the appetite suppression (which i did not want), excessive anxiety, and hORRibly over-emotional state of mind (which made me even MORE depressed) never went away. However, i think it was slightly helpful for maybe the first week-- some stimulant-like mood-lifting properties without the comedown (although the aforementioned negative effects were still present). But/so i was wondering if you think that i might have had a positive experience with it eventually if i had waited like an extra month or so before quitting it. Also, what do you mean exactly when you say that it "gave out after 1 month"? How did it give out? What were the feelings and effects like? And, if you don't mind, what were the feelings and effects like while it was benefitting you (or what *are* they like if you're still on it)? Thanks alot.
