I'm posting my old avatar as my contribution. Tonight is the first time I've posted here in years, and I forgot what my avatar was. I laughed when I saw it tonight. I don't really look much like that.

I'm replying tonight, a bit late maybe. My input may be too late to be of any help to you. I've used both Nardil and Parnate. Nardil worked quite well for me, Parnate not as much. Not many side effects except insomnia. Should work within a couple weeks--I can't remember. At the time (Nardil), I...
