> > I tried Parnate for 2 weeks. Side effects from this were horrible. Extreme GI disturbances were the main side effect: Constipation, Diarrhea, Cramping. Before I tried Parnate, I was cycling through alot of other medications trying to find the magic pill. I have been on Effexor for the past 2.5 years, just now coming off this to try Nardil. Was wondering if it was worth the time and effort. I have GAD, Social Phobia, probably Social Phobia worse. Thanks for all the support.

> I havent't tried Nardil yet, but when I first tried Parnate I hade explosive diarrhea for about 3 weeks, then it went away with minimal remaining side effects. Maybe if you continued a bit longer the GI problems would have went away.
>I agree with Naughtypuppy. I find the longer i'm on Parnate the less side-effects i have. Sometimes we have to *wait out* some adverse side effects of meds, as they sometimes dissapear, and then all that's left is the beneficial properties of the med. My pdoc calls it pushing through..I find more often than not it worksfor me. :)
Good Luck,
