Does anyone know if there are any stimulants that can be taken with Parnate? I'm already on Parnate, but I'd like to possibly try to treat some of my attention-deficit symptoms.

Yeah buddy, as far as I know all stimulants are fine with Parnate- be it Ritalin or its cousins.
How are you finding old Parnate?Ace.

> How are you finding old Parnate?It's just that I've read on most stimulant info warnings that you can't take them with an MAOI, but maybe they're just being overly cautious (like they are with the food restrictions!).
As for my situation with Parnate. I've been on it for 6.5 weeks. I was on 40mg for about a month, then upped it to 60 mg 2 weeks ago. I don't feel like anything is happening, but maybe it's just too early. I'm seeing my doctor on Monday, so we'll see what he says.

Yeah I think so. Countless people combine MAOIs and stimulants. They get a bit silly with the restrictions!

I don't feel like anything is happening, but maybe it's just too early. I'm seeing my doctor on Monday, so we'll see what he says.I'd up it to 80mg- give it an additional 4 weeks then try Nardil. Parnate might just take some time for you.
Good luck champ,
Ace.

i dont' think you can combine stimulants with MAOIs... at the least, i would imagine it to be risky (remember people get HC just from parnate alone!) HC=hypertensive crisis ...
i had to switch from parnate (i love you! beats hypersomnia + bigtime boost to libido + weight loss etc) to celexa + ritalin when i realized i had ADD (ug)
if i thought i could take parnate with stimulant man i would be so there .... i think the only stim elizabeth? said was okay was pamelor or something but that is no longer available due to liver problems
