For Depression "I'd been severely depressed for 4-5 years and tried almost every treatment around, including ECT. Some things helped for a bit, but nothing stuck. 2 years of Parnate and I'm 90% 'normal', working & studying, happy some of the time. Not saying it'll work for you, but if you've tried everything else, go for it. Warning 1: side effects are a thing, they aren't great (and nightmarish if you have serious anxiety). But better than ECT/TMS, and the dietary restrictions are more like suggestions, really. Warning 2: it's one of the more expensive antidepressants I've tried, at least in Australia."

For Depression "So far, it is much better and with fewer side effects than Celexa, Pristiq, Wellbutrin, Remeron, or Viibryd. The main issue is anxiety, and this medicine stops it like nothing else. It is in a whole different class. Still finding out how it is going to work on my 'zest for life' and other symptoms of depression. Still a long way to go."

For Depression "I've been on Parnate 60 milligrams for 2 months. I take medicine for sleep. I'm unable to sleep and still have anxiety. On medication for both. Recently, my doctor decided to decrease my dose to 40 mg, saying there's a chemical in it that can cause my symptoms. Can a lower dose help these symptoms? I take Klonopin and Ambien."

For Depression "Like almost all of you guys, I spent years with another innumerable antidepressants without results. After asking my doctor for months to put me on Parnate, finally he agreed and started with 20 mg, that seemed to have no effect. After two months taking Parnate and on a dosage of 60 mg, finally I felt my old self, happy, talkative, without any anxiety (I had generalized and social). I just felt like a normal person, with all my cognitive potential. Thanks."
