> hello chemist, thank you so much for the info. So what is the difference between Parnate and Luvox? Just curious. You have been most helpful. I appreciate your response to my questions and your continued interest in this battle that we struggle with. It is people like you that make the proces more understandable and tolerable. Blessings to you, bluebird
> PS I am sure I will probably have more questions for you. Thanks

hello bluebird....parnate is an irreversible MAO type A inhibitor, and luvox is a garden-variety SSRI that inhibits serotonin reuptake, while parnate prevents MAO from ``degrading'' dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin. so there is a bit of overlap (in terms of serotonergic activity, and luvox has some very slight binding affinity for NE and DA, but it is mM or worse), but they work in completely different ways. i am posting a correction in another message, but want to mention that i incorrectly identified Marplan as a type B MAOI, when in fact i recall now that it is a type A (like parnate) MAOI. all the best, chemist
