> Thank you, Kim. Did your doc. try to augment your Parnate with mood stabiliers first or did he go straight on to stimulants? Did Parnate by itself have some effect? With me it's having no effect whatsoever. Thanks Jan
Jan,
We tried lithium with it, but for the second time we've tried lithium it made me way worse. So we went to the dexedrine, since I've been on just about everything else in one combination or another and we knew that the dexedrine helped the overwhelming fatigue I get on almost all ADs. (Even Prozac.)But the Parnate was having an effect on its own before we started adding to it. MAOIs seem to be the only thing that helps me, but they're just not quite enough. I can't see a lot of point in augmenting something that's not working. I know some people are helped by stimulants alone.
