Tryclics and MOIA

Posted by mike1975 on November 21, 2008, at 9:01:39

Hi everyone,

I went to get a second opinion and guys in Columbia told me that I might benefit from tryclics and MOIA. In your opinion, which one is the most useful for anxiety? Also, which one causes least sexual side effects?

Thank you

Michael

1. Nardil + nortriptyline
2. Parnate + desipramine

Arn't they the two most likely to worsen or cause Anxiety ? Nortriptyline certainly did for me.

1. Nardil + nortriptyline

Nardil has proGABAergic properties and known to be better for anxiety than Parnate. Most people report nortriptyline to less anxiogenic than desipramine. This has been my experience as well.

2. Parnate + desipramine

Parnate has fewer and less severe side effects compared to Naradil. Parnate generally causes less hypotension that resolves after several weeks. Nardil produces hypotension that lingers and has less chance to disappear. Nardil produces anorgasmia and edema, and is hard on the liver. Desipramine can be more activating than nortriptyline and feel similar to a stimulant at first. Weight gain is more of a problem with nortripyline than desipramine.
