"parnate is a great medicine. it will mess with your sleep cycle and cause severe insomnia but other than that it&#039;s great. it improves mood, lowers anxiety (not perfectly but enough), improves sex drive, it gives you energy and in my case i welcomed slight weight loss. i&#039;ve taken up to 40mg day. it&#039;s very important to take parnate either in the morning or at 2pm. if taken in morning may cause drowsiness at ~2pm. take food warnings seriously. if i eat the wrong food my blood pressure definitely increases."
