In reply to Nardil vs. Parnate experiences, posted by clubfitter on November 6, 2007, at 13:03:23
First, they are pretty hard to get prescribed-- more-so if not near an urban area.
They didn't take long at all to have an effect. (I don't know if that's typical though.) Parnate that day; Nardil maybe a few days.
For me:
Parnate-
Very catecholaminergic, so to speak. Much more emotional (bad and good, was mostly bad for me). Anxiety a little worse. Somewhat less appetite. Wonderfully powerful libido and sexual pleasure. Cognitively improved, except for aggravated obsessive-compulsive & perfectionistic tendencies. More capable of being severely painfully depressed. Bad insomnia. Daytime drowsiness at times. Enhanced creativity (?).
Nardil-
Far less anxiety. Vastly unbelievably improved depression. Vastly increased sociability. Some flattening of affect/emotions. Decreased sex drive and sexual pleasure. Anorgasmia or long time until orgasm. Significant constipation. Increased [subjective at least] internal body heat. Sweat more easily. Significant dry mouth. Moderate urinary retention. Somewhat cognitively duller (less creative, quick, etc.), at least I think. Foggier long term memory(???) though not sure if that's true or just my perception.Hope that helps.
> Trying to gather information about the effectiveness of both of these drugs. Particuarly side effects, how long they take to kick in, and how easy they are to get prescribed. Any feedback at all would be appreciated. Thanks!
