> Could you please tell me if Parnate is effective for generalized anxiety disorder? I had great success with Paxil when it was prescribed for me about 8 years ago, but stopped taking it about two years ago. When the depression and anxiety came back with a vengence earlier this year, I tried Paxil again, with no response. The doctor switched me to Prozac and it was 2 weeks of hell. Next came Effexor XR, which kept me apprehensive and left me apathetic and unmotivated. I am now on Celexa and, after 6 weeks, have not noticed any significant improvement. I am becoming frustrated and demoralized, and getting to the end of my rope. Anything you can tell me or any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. I live in Canada, which means that some drugs, such as Cymbalta and Lexapro are not available yet.

It's hard for me to say because I no longer have GAD, having slowly and painfully conquered this problem over the years. I have to believe Nardil would be better than Parnate because of Nardil's effects on GABA, which should make Nardil more anxiolytic. My overall anxiety levels are relatively low and have not been noticeably affected by either drug. I think I can give Nardil a recommendation if a person is willing to put up with all the blasted side effects, but I'm not so sure about Parnate. Perhaps someone with higher levels of anxiety who has tried Parnate could give you a better answer.Todd
