I find parnate to do the following,it is a benzo of depression.Meaning its extremly fast acting,can stop a horrid episode dead in its tracks.
But like a benzo it has a half life of 4 hours so its not very long lasted.
Second it doesent actualy stop anxiety,instead it seems to make u content with dealing with the anxiety,the fear of doing things with the anxiety is diminished.
I personaly dont see much social benifit,what i see it does is if you MUST attack a social situation the fear is dimnished and you can handle it,HOWEVER parnate seems to make me wanna isolate myself and take on projects,it doesent ease my mind to say hey i wanna drop everything and go relax like i should,in fact ill ask parnate users do u remeber ever taking it and sitting down to a movie,or instead begin to think of the bills u needed paying,groceris projects etc and instead take those.I think that gaba effect needs to be there and its not with parnate,and nardil is just a different medication all around i wish it were just parnate with gaba qualites.
