Hi there! I write – rarely – about a variety of topics, including effective altruism, philosophy, psychology, the far future and artificial intelligence, as well as epistemic and instrumental rationality.

I have been on the mOI nardil and it pooped out on me after 20 years. Then on parnate for 5 yrs. Like you, I reduced the dose because I was getting a bit ‘high’ and over confident on it, and now it no longer works, and I can barely function any more. and so anxious. Have you had any experience of this poop out?
Is it still working for you ? Im in the UK and dread seeing an nhs psychiatrist next week.
If there is anything helpful you can say PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
Hi Eva,
Sorry to hear. I recently started Parnate again and it works, yes.
Not sure I can help you, as a last resort, you might want to try ECT if you haven’t already.
i dont want to try ect…… just wondering whether parnate may work again some time after having pooped out. But in your case it never did poop out, right?
