I have been on Parnate for 24 years. It gave me my life back. I tried many anti depressants before my doctor put me on Parnate. In two week I knew I have discovered my fountain of happiness, self control and sanity again.

This drug caused severe mania that has never gone away even though I have been off it for awhile. You have to be severely brainwashed if you think this diet is easy to follow. It is absolutely ridiculous and any psychiatrist who says otherwise is a total liar.

I have been on this medication for 10 year and it works fine for me. It is the only medication that has helped me. Some would work for awhile then stop.

I read that the food restrictions have been relaxed a it. I even drink pasteurized beer once in a while. My PSY. Doc. said that was the only kind I could drink, no Micro-Brewery beer. Now I'm not recommending other people should do this, I just know what goes on within my own body. I am also on 600mg. of Lithium which I will be weaned off from after the holidays are over. Too many side effects.

This drug usually does not work except for only on very small subset of patients with atypical depression. it has very poor action, many difficult side effects and does not have a consistent daily action. it is one of the most unpredictable drugs and you will never know what will happen tomorrow effect wise.

There are no recent studies because it does not worth it. it just like very dirty drug that might work by randomly activating different areas in the brain. I would give it 0 out of 10 in general. the newer agents in my experience are at least has some evidence. I understand some one may scarify his life style and food for some help but this is not the case with this drug, you have to scarify both. it was a big lie I wish I have not wasted my time on it. please note that the onset of action is very slow usually >3-5 weeks.

hasn't really worked for me. has made me lose a bit too much weight and i've pretty much ruined my job because i have no energy left due to no appetite. I'm now sad AND broke. I'm pretty much a zombie now.
