In reply to Anyone tolerate Parnate but not stimulating TCAs?, posted by KaraS on December 24, 2004, at 14:49:54
Hi Kara
Parnate is known as the stimulating MAOI. But for many people that is not the case. I take 80 mg of Parnate and it causes fatigue with me. In fact I had to start taking adderall to counteract the fatigue. I say fatigue because it wasn't sleepiness. It just makes me exhausted for some reason.

> I got a fair amount of tachycardia from desipramine and nortrityline so my doctor took me off of them. (My heartrate was 100 bpm.) I'm wondering if I would have the same effect from Parnate. I'd be very interested in hearing if you had the same problem with a stimulating TCA but were able to tolerate Parnate without that problem. (I know that most people find desipramine stimulating, but not nortriptyline, so let's just say desipramine from here on.)
