> I guess I've got SA. I've got depression as well. I'm going for low dose Parnate. Won't be as good as Nardil for SA,
Unless you have already tried it, there is no way of knowing for sure that Parnate will not have a robust anti-anxiety effect. People often overlook Parnate for SA because of all the good press that Nardil gets. For some people, Parnate is all they need.
I don't know the logic in purposely limiting the dosage of Parnate. I think you should titrate the drug clinically (with your eyes closed), and arrive at the right dosage based on results, and not target low dosages. If dosages of </= 30mg don't work, keep going.
It is interesting that you felt better after a single dosage of Parnate. Do you react the same way after a single dosage of Adderall or any other stimulant? Don't be discouraged if this initial stimulant-like improvement doesn't persist for more than a few days. It is not a predictor of how you will respond at therapeutic dosages.
