Less appetite

First time on Parnate, bad hypotension. The second trial unfortunately was a failure. For some reason my BP ran on the high side to the point where my GP was concerned I had developed high BP (runs in the family). After stopping it, BP is now in the normal range).
I was hoping MAOI's would be different for me and would work a second time as SSRI's don't, but it was a completely different experience. It felt like a different drug entirely. The first time I couldn't get past 20 mg. as the hypotension was so bad. The second time I was at 50 mg and my BP was high...go figure! I think I have a strange brain!!
