> StargazerFor the life of me I can't remember what dose of Parnate I was on..the recommended dosage I think..I went off it due to weird chills which I found out later after starting Nardil were due to a long recovery from surgery and not the parnate. It is like comparing apples to oranges! I gained 6 pounds but lost them by not having anything sweet in the house, no jams, honey, brown sugar..not sure if it's the Nardil, cause I'm not hungry during the day..only when I take my seroquel and zopicone at night that I could eat a ton of sweet stuff in very weird combinations.. too..I slurped caramel sauce right out of the bottle one night..sheesh..but then again I gained 80 pounds on SSRI's in 3 years..so again it's like comparing apples and oranges..I just feel more like "myself" on Nardil than I did on Parnate..
