> I have to admit I've been romantisizing/obsessing about Parnate for the last month. hehe
>
> I had 100% remission of my dysthymia, social anxiety symptoms about a month ago when I added the herb Vitex to my Prozac, Wellbutrin, Adderall, tyrosine, caffeine combo.
>
> The dopamine agonist properties of the Vitex gave me a huge improvement in my confidence, self-esteem, and assertiveness. My personality also became much more extroverted, and humourous. It was like I was finally the way I was supposed to be. My moods also stabilized quite significantly.
>
> This lasted for about 3 weeks then it pooped out. I've taken Vitex before and everytime I take it, it works magically then poops out after a month. I was hoping that this time the effect might stay due to the other meds I was on possibly altering my brain chemistry in some way to prevent this.
>
> So... basically I am trying to think of options to regain that social anxiety annilation that I've had before. The addition of stronger dopamine agonists like bromocriptine, cabergoline, or mirapex I was thinking about, but considering their infamous poopout rates as well I thought there must be a better option.

> I've been spending the last few weeks combing through all the posts on this site that are relevant to Parnate to try and learn as much as possible about it. I understand that it is quite dopaminergic, as well as quite great for social anxiety. I believe my social anxiety is more dopamine related than GABA as the Vitex has 100% wiped out the SA in the past.
>
> So, is anyone else romantisizing about the MAOi's Parnate and Nardil? They seem to be so extremely effective with respect to social anxiety and atypical depressions, that they are a head above the rest.
>
> I'll try and write a few more of my thoughts later as I'm just on the way to the gym and feel like I need to get off my chest/collaborate a few ideas concerning the use of Parnate.
>
> p.s. I'm addicted to the success stories as well. I find myself reading them over and over again. Posts from Ace, Cybercafe, King Vultan, Dan Perkins, etc... I find them very inspiring!Hey dude!!!
It is the Nardil Champion here!!! Bro, I personally hated Parnate, but, with what you stated above, I believ it it a prime choice for you.
I have seen many, many brilliant responses from Parnate...not good, but BRILLIANT responses...such responses include a healthy euphoria, absolute motivation, and adrenalin surging in your gut every morning!
Nardil to me was and still is absolutely amazing drug. Just remember it's always there if u need it. The diet is a joke -- i don't even notice and cheat on it all the time (I'm not a role model in that respect!), so I say go for it!!!
You have my total support and blessings...and dude, we need another MAOI king here!!!
Ace, nardil heavyweight!!
