> I went on parnate for severe depression. It worked very fast for me. I felt noticeably better within a few days. I was started on 30mg after two weeks washout. I'm now slowly titrating off of it after over three years, since I have been consistently good for a year and still have parnate side effects - insomnia and postural hypotension.

Thanks for responding! I am glad to hear that Parnate worked for you and in such a short amount of time. Congrats on now officially being depression-free!! That is inspirational news to me since it feels like, as of now, that I will always be like this :( Although I am trying to remain positive.

PS - If anyone is reading this, I discontinued the Parnate. I didn't find it very helpful for my anxiety and if anything it possibly made it worse. I wasn't willing to take a benzo as an anxiolytic so I have gone back to my familiar SSRIs/SNRIs and plan on augmentation.
