Dear 3y21, you certainly sound as though you function much better than I do. My family are grown up, and I have several severe physical illnesses, which drastically reduce my exercise ability. My main diagnosis is severe atypical depression, with vegetative and weight gain results. Only if I am pushed beyond my limits do I become very anxious. (need quiet time).
So I guess I am not the right person to talk to you about your results on social anxiety with Parnate. I have always enjoyed my own company, and would become exhausted if I had to be among people all day. I must say that I admire your coping with your schedule.
The last time my weight was normal was 30 years ago on the "old Nardil". I refuse to go back onto the SSRI " merry go round",
because that resulted in a weight gain of 31kg. I am going to stick with Parnate, maybe supplementing it with Ritalan and a benzo to sleep. My over weight is killing me.--sleep apnoea, coronary artery disease , breast cancer,etc.
Dear 3y21, you may want to give Parnate a bit longer trial,because it is not so long that you stopped nardil.
Best wishes from Chihuahua.
