There are studies showing that it actually lowers GABA, in contrast to Nardil. I did find it useful (in combination with clonazepam) for my mood and anxiety. Nardil is the only MAOI I haven't taken, and that's because of the side effect profile. I think the combination of Parnate and a benzo is 'cleaner' and more tolerable than Nardil.Really? That's brilliant news. Questions 1) can you describe the effects (positive and negative)and 2)what is the likelihood of getting prescribed it WITH clonazepam (i assume it's quite
activating) - is relatively exotic stuff like this the preserve of the 'progressive' psychiatrist? Maybe you could even mention your pdoc - did you say youwere in Leeds?

Fat. Will give that one a try- who would have thought zopiclone would make it as an anxiolytic? The only forseeable problem with that would be balance + generally looking a bit 'mid-sleep'. If you ever need more I use u**tedph****cies (.co.uk) for imovane at very reasonable pricesAnd what of amilsulpride ?
