i just started on Parnate 3 weeks ago. it's an MAOI and it's not prescribed very often because there are so many foods you can't eat while on it.

BUT, i've been seeing my dr for 4 years now, and nothing we've tried has worked this well. i was in a *really* bad slump for the past 6 months, and my doc was trying to get me to consent to getting hospitalised, but within 3 weeks this has really cleared things up. i'm back at uni, i'm doing exams, i'm going out and meeting up with friends. at the beginning of the month, i was lying in bed the whole day and considering plans on how to end it all.

i have tried so many different medications (over 12), and so i'm still really sceptical that this will continue to work for me. but i can't deny that - right now - i'm feeling great. and i've never seen something work this quickly and this completely before.

so fingers crossed it doesn't bottom out. just wanted to share, because i think it's easy to lose hope sometimes (and i certainly have). i'm still getting my head around this - it feels *so weird* to be finally feeling normal again .
Thanks for this!
