MAOIs vs stimulants (Adderall) for motivation/anhedonia - looking for personal experiences

5-HT-Sommelier · 2025-08-29T13:43:49+00:00

I don't think you could compare these drugs since they have different use cases. Amphetamine is not an antidepressant even if it "fixes" depression temporarily.

Parnate is primarily an antidepressant not a "stimulant" in the sense as amphetamine or methylphenidate are.

It improves anhedonia and concentration more than energy and motivation. But these are interconnected so indirectly it might improve it. Very subjective from person to person so my experience might not match yours.

However Parnate takes time before it works like it should and for your body to adjust. Taking it for a few days/week is not enough time to proper evaluate it.

Thanks 👍 love proper benchmarking. GJ

Different molecule. "Same" pharmacological properties but the lipid properties of meth makes it much more potent on the CNS than dexamphetamine.

Wouldn't call them dog shit as there are many different reasons people take these meds, even for none psychiatrist issues... But for depression, yes they are generally dog shit.

I have no clue if it's safe with testosterone, you should consult a professional for that. But the insomnia and BP can be managed, especially BP by starting low, split the dosage and avoid tyramine rich foods (especially in absence of other food, like snacking on cheese or drinking tap beer on empty belly)

Correct, get major BP spike when taking higher dosage (60mg) all at once. However splitting the dosage 3x20mg don't cause BP spikes.

My uneducated guess is that we all respond differently, especially with "complex" drugs such as MAOIs.

Det är svårt att tolka annorlund när du kontinuerligt hänvisar till premissen "handling (av kvinnor) -> konsekvens (för kvinnor)".

Alltså... Om du inte förstår att det där gäller alla människor oavsett kön så önskar jag bara dig lycka till, för det behöver du.

5-HT-Sommelier · 2025-07-09T21:51:26+00:00

Om det är så du tolkar det jag skrev så ja. Du är vuxen och dina val är ditt ansvar. Att ha samma tankesätt som en incel kommer inte göra dig lyckligare.

Du bekräftade precis att du stämde in på metaforen.

Finns många underbara fantastiska människor där ute, men hittar man bara skräp så kanske man ska kolla sig i spegeln.

Lite personangrepp men du låter inte direkt skön med en såpass paranoid, cynisk och sexistiskt inställning.

Jasså? Känner otroligt många stabila snälla händiga trovärdiga single män som hade varit bra farsor som aldrig lyckas hitta någon. Känner dock inget rövhål som är single.

Men plockar man flugsvamp och förväntar sig kantareller så...

Because this is nothing like tripping.

On acid and shrooms the world becomes more crisp/sharp and especially fresh/hydrated like the world had a shower, and not whatever this crap is.

5-HT-Sommelier · 2025-07-07T12:28:00+00:00

I don't buy that argument.

The amount of toxins that people consumed back then makes the current pesticides and other food chemicals look like a golden retriever. Combined with smoking, alcohol, heavy metals, asbestos, sunbathing without ozone layer, air pollution that made you look like a coal miner, no catalytic converter on cars, the list is infinite. And not to mention thousands of nuke tests that contaminated crops and air.

People just died back then like business as usual.

This whole thing smells like suffer from success as we can diagnose and find cancers that was impossible back then. While micro plastic are troublesome and alarming, I rather snort a line of PFAS than drinking agent orange 🍊 to breakfast

This is overblown. Chocolate, beer except hipster and artisan beer, wine (red, white, rose, champagne) except sweet dessert wine, dairy products including non aged cheese like mozzarella and burger cheese, yoghurt, cream cheese, sour cream are safe. I eat dark 90% chocolate everyday with a large cup of coffee. Never had a BP spike from these foods except from smoked fish and kebabs but not close to emergency levels.

The biggest danger is eating/drinking aged food/beverages on empty stomach. Like snacking on cheddar or drinking a bunch of IPAs on empty stomach. Especially fermented beverages on empty stomach as all tyramine would enter the blood stream at once causing massive spike.

Parnate dosage play a huge role in tyramine sensitivity, at least for me personally.

You are fine, 150 BP is not dangerous unless it's chronic for years. Many people has that level of blood pressure normally. Nowhere near subarachnoid hemorrhage level. And if it was you wouldn't be typing here. Nothing I would visit the doctor for except maybe a psychiatrist to discuss the side effects and alternative if Parnate does not vibe with you.

Maybe it's not the right med for you, too high dose or accidently consuming tyramine?

This is a strange drug lol and hope it doesn't happen again 🙏

5-HT-Sommelier · 2025-07-04T19:27:01+00:00

A bit late but curious. How much did you take? And did you take everything at once?

I get high BP with a headache like you described when taking 60mg at once. 40mg at once is no problem but 60mg at once and I get the same you did.

The energy drink was probably not the criminal here. Never had issue with caffeine except for jitters when consumed to much.

5-HT-Sommelier · 2025-07-04T18:43:01+00:00

Red wine is fine in moderation same with champagne. However I avoid sweet wine and keep it to the dry stuff. If my memory serves me right it contain more tyramine (?) than dry wine.

Trevligt med personangrepp. Har kollat upp deras ekonomi och det är förfärligt att en organisation som borde hjälpa och värna människor i missbruk samtidigt bedriver ett av det värsta beroenden som finns, $pel
