Hi.
I agree that it would be optimal for you to continue your trial of Parnate.

I believe I saw a poster write that somewhere.

Just to give you some perspective, Parnate generally requires a minimum dosage of 40 mg to treat depression. I don't know about ADD. I don't reap the benefits of Parnate until I reach a dosage of 80 mg. From what I can see, the true therapeutic dosage range for Parnate is 40 - 80 mg. A special high-dose treatment used for stubborn TRD cases uses dosages of 120 mg and higher. For many people, Parnate has a more acceptable side effect profile than Nardil.
In its clinical history, Parnate has been tried in treating conditions as diverse as ADD, OCD, and borderline personality disorder. It is even sometimes effective in treating social anxiety disorder.
Keep the faith.
