Hi P!
I just wondered whether you tried it because you said that you still suffer from anxiety despite the diazepam. What sort of anxiety do you suffer from? Do you have a diagnosis? What makes you anxious? What do you worry/panic about? What symptoms do you have? (Sorry!!!)
>would it be usefull for ADHD. mood?
It's often effective as an antidepressant. It might be somewhat effective for ADHD, Parnate might be better than Nardil. Combining MAOIs with stimulants can sometimes cause severe hypertension. Other people don't experience this effect however and can combine them quite happily. If you were on an MAOI, you'd initially have to take a *very* low dose of a stimulant, you blood pressure would need to be carefully monitored.
>anything like Imipramine?
No, it's nothing like imipramine- a TCA. Nardil and Parnate are MAOIs, hence the special diet- no cheese etc. Have you tried imipramine?
>Have you?
No. I just wondered whether you'd benefit since you mentioned that you'd tried a few SSRIs with no success. Nardil is often very effective for anxiety. What other treatments have you tried for your anxiety? eg. BuSpar etc.
