Hi Jedi,

When you said Parnate's been out on a generic formulation, do you mean that a generic is *replacing* the brand, or that the generic came out *in addition* to the brand? Are there's two options of Parnate out there (generic + brand) or just the generic?

Of course there isn't a magic pill that works for everyone. I'm not sure what you mean by that.

The only reason we're disappointed on the MAOI failure is because MAOIs are well-known to be excellent drugs of 'last resort'

They were known to be reliable last options for treatment-resistant depression, atypical depression, and social anxiety when the person didn't respond to other variety of treatment options--which is exactly what happened to me.

I tried Nardil (the new reformulated version by Pfizer) and it did nothing other than cause a bunch of side effects and lift my depression lightly for a few weeks. Lightly, as in 25-30% for a few days, and then began to go down.

I had heard that Nardil was the gold standard for my type of (atypical + treatment resistant) depression + social anxiety, but no, it was not, not for me.

So yes, I'm deeply disappointed and will probably try Parnate as another last resort.

But please, tell me if you know whether Parnate (the original) is still out on the shelves, or whether the generic reformulation has replaced it completely and like Nardil, the original Parnate is also gone for good?

Thank you
