Tranylcypromine for Depression "Parnate did not give me any major side effects. The insomnia was manageable, and the instant benefits felt from day one (no exaggeration) gave me hope that I was on a good track. For comparison, I have been through fluoxetine (2 years). It gave me 1 month of side effects and no benefits, but eventually I got better and continued with it. Unfortunately, fluoxetine stopped working from the 6th month or so. But I kept the faith in it. For 2 years. The psychiatrist also put me on desvenlafaxine. It was a nightmare of headaches that lasted for a day, putting me in bed. For no benefit. Compared to these experiences, Parnate feels like a walk in the park. Beware the dietary restrictions."

For Depression "This worked really well for me for depression, but I also have ADHD and had to stop Adderall. I actually got low blood pressure from this, with headaches, and what made it normal was eating cheese and taking Adderall. Would still be taking it if I could get prescribed Adderall at the same time."

Tranylcypromine for Depression "This drug has been a miracle for me. Over the last 40 years, I've been on virtually every antidepressant. Nothing lasted more than a few weeks. I even went as far as having ECT, with terrible results. 30 mg of Parnate has kept me from thinking suicidal thoughts and made life bearable again. The main side effect for me is the dietary restrictions. Unlike most of the people that have posted their experiences here, I have a very strong reaction to tyramine-containing foods. Four slices of bacon raised my BP to 222/110. Eating one-day-old leftover BBQ resulted in a trip to the ER. I keep Hydralazine around for emergencies now. I know if I eat the wrong thing because I get a throbbing headache within minutes. Now I am much more careful about the food that I eat. Only fresh foods and no aged cheese or meats for me now."
