Parnate (tranylcypromine) [MAOI]
Description:
Parnate is classified as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). It has been prescribed less frequently in recent years despite its high efficacy, due in part to the increasing popularity of newer SSRIs.
For these reasons, many scientists believe that Parnate and other MAOIs should be prescribed for SAD rather newer antidepressants, despite the diet limitations and risk of high blood pressure that accompanies them.
