Just for background, I first tried Nardil for social anxiety and depression/dysthymia. It worked somewhat for the anxiety and well on the depression. However, I was narcoleptic in the afternoons, had many other symptoms, but most of all I gained 26 lbs in 2 months. Now that is a side effect I can't live with. I'd be bed bound by the end of the year. So, I tried Parnate because the weight gain isn't supposed to be as bad. Hasn't done anything for anxiety but again fine for depression. Been on it since 2/26 and have gained 7 lbs. Anybody else have this massive of weight gain. I don't know what to do. Stop the Parnate, go back to the Nardil and try not to look at food much less eat it, stay with the Parnate longer and see if it will have an effect on the anxiety once I get the dose up (I'm still only at 20-30 mg) or completely get off the MAOI and try something else but what? I'm pretty familiar with all the psychotropics and I just can't decide. Any thoughts?
