An MAOI is something I never thought I'd seriously consider, but given the buzz they've been getting here on PB I'm reconsidering. If an MAOI would hit my ADHD and dysthymia AND I could tolerate it from a cardiovascular standpoint (biggest if) might give it a shot.
If you don't mind, Chairman_MAO, may I ask you a few further questions regarding them? (I take no offense if you're too busy to respond or don't know).
Do you really think Parnate would be a better choice for ADHD than Modafinil (you're probably aware it's recently received an FDA indication for ADHD)?
Might you know how MAOI's (selegiline not included) compare to Ritalin and Dex in terms of peripheral/cardiovascular stimulation? Caffeine, Provigil?
Do MAOI's have more or less of a propensity to poop out than the other AD's?
Do you know if Nardil or Parnate would have more or less peripheral/cardiovascular stimulation than the selegiline patch? (I ask this because seligline is converted to Meth and AMP, though I believe this conversion is extremely minimal)?
Cheers,
Mike
