I had a similar experience on Parnate when I developed a nasty rash that started in my belly button and got little bumps that I thought were bug bites when I got out of the shower. I think it is cause because some MAOIs inhibit N-Methyltransferase which is the bodys natural antihistamine. Do you have particularly sensitive skin, soap allergies etc? A lot of meds give me a rash. If youve found something that is working for you, instead of stopping it, get your doc to prescribe a potent antihistamine such as hydroxyzine or low dose doxepin. Unfortunantly after I thought of the strong antihistamine trick the Parnate didnt work for me the second time around and it was the best AD I have tried so far! Neeedless to say I am now very reluctant to stop a med that shows promise if I can tolerate the side effects. Just started Nardil yesterday, so I hope it doesn't do the same thing
