Michael,

When I took Nardil, it took about two weeks after raising my dose to 75 mg/day (4-5 weeks altogether if my memory serves me correctly) for me to feel the medication's antidepressant effects. I started with the Australian Nardil and later switched to Pfizer's U.S. version of Nardil.

When I took GlaxoSmithKline's version of Parnate manufactured for the U.S., I never felt it's antidepressant effects. I felt a stimulant effect on days one and two, but I seemed to develop a tolerance to that with time. I stopped the medication prematurely (after about two weeks) because the daytime sleepiness was interfering with my ability to attend classes.

When I took the version of Parnate manufactured by Goldshield for the U.K., I noticed its antidepressant effect (a Nardil-like effect) on day one. The effect lasted 3-4 days before my depressive symptoms came close to reaching their full intensity again. I had a partial-but-consistent antidepressant response to a combination of the Goldshield Parnate and SAMe when I tried it almost two years ago.
