> Did you take Parnate for depression or anxiety or both? Which do you feel Parnate addresses the best? You said you started in your 20s ... do you mind if I ask your age range now?
I took it for atypical depression, but it also helps with my anxiety. Plus, I deal with my anxiety better than my depression. I've always been high strung, so to speak, so it seems more normal. I wasn't depressed until 16, but I was high strung. I use my anxiety to push myself, but the depression makes me comatose.For me, Parnate helps both, but the depression the most. On a good dose I can live without Xanax, but at lower doses, I can't.
I'm 39 and pushing 40 ;-) So, I've been like this since I was 16 and finally got a doc to give me Parnate in my early 20s since I'd tried practically everything else. It's been a godsend, but as I said, it's not perfect.
Please keep me posted on the emsam. I'm still crossing my fingers the MAOi works for you. You still have a bunch of good years left and you deserve them to be happy!!
