In reply to Nardil vs. Parnate, posted by noellejc on August 5, 2008, at 14:49:08
Parnate usually has fewer side effects for most people, and weight loss is common. Parnate tends to have a more 'speedy' feel, while Nardil is more sedating. The down side of this is that Parnate can be a little bit addictive to some people who are prone to drug abuse, but as with other dugs a high intake might not be considered abuse if the doctor is willing to accomodate dose escalation. I remember one other person who's body dismorphic disorder responded well to Parnate. The main advantage of Nardil is in treating anxiety disorders, particularly social anxiety. If that isn't your main concern I'd say the side effect profile is in favor of Parnate, but as always your miles may vary.
